Lorinda is a New York Artist and believes that adding color to your meals, is one of the best ways to insure that you are getting all the vitamins and nutrients you need.
- PURPLE has the most antioxidants of all colors which helps prevent cancer & disease, reduces the signs of ageing, & improves memory
- RED improves blood pressure, builds strong cells, & protects you from UV rays
- ORANGE helps to prevents cancer, heart disease, infections, & helps maintain healthy eyes and skin
- YELLOW helps to reduces inflammation, prevents allergies, fights free radicals (they cause age related illness) & strengthens the collagen in your skin
- GREEN is a blood purifier that supports the liver and kidneys which detoxify the body
*It's amazing how color in your food can do so many incredible things for your body*
