Cindy's Salad Dressing

I love photography in black and white. And there's nothing like putting on a crisp, white shirt with the new, black trousers. But when it comes to the rest of my world, I want almost everything in color.

It turns out that the color is a good indicator of the benefits that you are a winner of our food. Look at your plate next time you eat. Is it brimming with colorful and dynamic? Or is it, um, a little bland looking? The correlation is interesting is that foods with beautiful colors also do more to protect your health.

Think of a salad of iceberg lettuce. Washed out, barely green, barely there leaves. No wonder people who endured salads of iceberg lettuce salads decided not something they liked. Or worse, they are buried in high-fat, unhealthy salad dressings to try to flavor salads.

Make a salad of fresh baby greens with purple and deep dark green. Add tomatoes, bright red, red pepper, carrots orange and brown, earthy mushrooms. It looks better is not it? Better taste, too. But the most important thing is much better for your health. Iceberg lettuce provides almost no nutritional value. Dark leafy greens give you a premium vitamins and minerals as well as studies show they may even help prevent cataracts.

The correlation is the same for fruit. A variety of colors will give you a range of nutrients that cover the basics to help you get or stay healthy. Blueberries are rich in vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene plus provide potassium, manganese and magnesium. Studies show that blueberries also provide the most antioxidants, which help protect your health and boundary changes due to diseases related to aging. the ability of black raspberries "to fight the cancer appears to be 40 percent higher than even blueberries or strawberry. Bright orange clementines pack a powerful punch of vitamin C and beta-carotene in a little full of flavor, easy to eat package.

I like very dark, almost black grapes better than green grapes or purple lighter. All grapes contain flavonoids, but more color, the higher the concentration of these properties for health. Flavonoids are present in a variety of fruits and vegetables, and hue, the more they contain.

Take a lot of flavonoids are important because they help reduce your risk of cardiac disease, cancer, asthma and stroke. As with other antioxidants, they also help to combat free radicals that damage cells. But they go further and also appears to have antihistamine, antimicrobial, memory and even mood properties.

Moreover, scientists already have evidence that antioxidants such as flavonoids, protect against and even reverse the cognitive decline seen as a person ages. Thus, you get more antioxidants in your food, the best.

In addition, it is prettier and tastier than anything from a dish made of bright colors. The sound of my favorite fry family contains all the different colors of peppers. Not only is it healthy and attractive dish, it tastes incredible. A fruit salad composed of a mixture of fresh fruit, colorful tastes better and is also better for you. Salads are always a mixture of vegetables and salads (but not iceberg!) In them.

Have fun finding ways to make your food more colorful, then discover the bonus of glowing health those vibrant foods will give you.
