Loving Those Fruits and Vegetables

Green, Orange, Red, and Yellow...The Brighter the Better
Brightly colored vegetables, such as peppers, carrots, and lettuce contain nutritious phytochemicals called carotenoids and flavonoids.
Beta carotene, lycopene, and limonene are some of the phytochemicals you will find in ripe and colorful vegetables.
Phytochemicals have been shown to fight disease, reduce inflammation, and provide other immunity-boosting, anti-aging qualities.
What's your favorite colorful and crunchy vegetable?
Me, I love snacking on bell peppers.

Baby carrots and snap peas. I eat them by the bagful. What do you think about eating vegetables raw compared to juicing them?

I'm with you.
One of my favorite quick lunches is a fresh red or orange pepper stuffed with tuna fish. I buy those tuna fish in a pack products you find next to the cans in the grocery store (salmon works well too).
Great for throwing together in a hurry at work.
And while everyone else is munching on candy bars or pastries throughout the day, I'm digging into a bag of carrots or snap peas.
