Eat the Rainbow

Eat from the rainbow everyday. Meals and snacks provide not only vitamins, minerals and fiber but also powerful phytonutrients as shown by the color of the food. The colorful plant chemicals help the body fight disease and slow the aging process. Choosing a variety of colors each day also helps you get the required 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables you need for good health. The color of the produce gives you a clue to its health benefits.

Yogic Deep Breathing

Practice yogic deep breathing everyday. Mindful exercise that synchronizes movement and breath has the power to change your mind and body. Studies show that yogic deep-breathing techniques are extremely effective in handling depression, anxiety and stress-related disorders. These techniques are an excellent adjunct to conventional medical treatment- or a s a suitable substitute in some cases- in treating a myriad of psychological disorders, as well as eating disorders and obesity. Many people have increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood which shows that either they are not inhaling enough oxygen or not exhaling enough carbon dioxide. Increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood can lead to fatigue, mental fog and decreased tissue function.

Eat Local Seasonal Produce

Get the maximum health and nutritional benefit from the fruits and vegetables you eat by choosing produce at peak ripeness, locally grown and freshly harvested. Produce is at its peak nutritional value when it is ripe. But fruits and vegetables that will be traveling long distances to market aren't picked when they are ripe, but before ripeness. While the produce might gain color and softness on its journey to the supermarket, nutritional value comes through the stem from the living plant. Once harvested, a vegetable is as nutritious as its going to get. Nutritional value also decreases every day past harvest.
