Besides the fact that everyone likes to
see a colorful dish, that dish may also be good for you. It is great, the food looks appealing, but even greater when that food is a healthy meal.

An eating tip that I have observed is
that several of the culinary dishes are quite colorful, healthy, and
are quite pleasurable to your palate.
Diet Color
Have you given any thought to what
colors your diet consist of? You might be surprised at the results.
I know personally that my diet does
consist of red (strawberries, watermelon), green (greens, peas, green
beans) and yellow (bananas). I love to make pineapple and banana
smoothies. They are so delightful. According to nytimes, fruit and
vegetables are the closes of foods that act like a fountain of youth.
I believe that too. Fruits and vegetables are powerful protection
against diseases.
Snacks
I love to snack on raw carrots.
Carrots are packed with vitamin A for the eyes. Also, this is a
great way to eat fiber. In the article
http://anointedtoday.blogspot.com/2015/06/are-you-giving-healthy-food-choices-to.html,
I talk about the importance of variety in your children's diet.
Mini Meals
According to Rebecca Reeves, Dr.PH,RD at
webmd.com, people who eat 4-5 meals or snacks per day are able to
control their appetite and weight better. That does make sense. I
recall a friend of mine at one time was only eating 1 apple a day,
because of her fear of getting fat. Little did she know that by
eating only 1 apple she was causing her metabolism to slow down and
possibly causing more harm than good. Although I know there are
those that fast, but I could not imagine only eating an apple a day.

Hi Betty, I must admit that my diet is quite colorful--full of fresh fruits and vegetables at each meal! And I love them! Thank you so much for sharing these valuable benefits of eating "color" on the Healthy Happy Green and Natural Party Blog Hop. I'm pinning and sharing.
You are most welcome Deborah. Also, my diet is quite colorful too.
Great point, God made all those foods pretty colors for a reason! Love the first paragraph of your blog!
