This Infographic Shows the Phytonutrients You Need to Stay Healthy

Phytonutrients, or plant nutrients, are thought to help decrease the risk of diseases like cancer and heart disease. Unfortunately, most people don't get enough. This graphic from Precision Nutrition shows us how to incorporate more of these nutrients into our diets.

Helpfully, the infographic offers lots of suggestions for getting more of each color. Some of them might surprise you.

It also provides interesting tips like waiting 10 minutes before cooking chopped garlic to preserve the phytonutrients.
