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. For greens, for example, you
could drink green tea;
for reds, eat more walnuts; and for yellow/orange, add tumeric to
sauces or dressings. It also provides interesting tips like waiting 10
minutes before cooking chopped garlic to preserve the phytonutrients.
