Color Your Diet 多吃彩色蔬果
Buy the brightest vegetables you see. Vibrant colors usually correspond with more vitamins. This means go easy on iceberg lettuce, celery, and cucumbers and load up on carrots, tomatoes, red peppers, and sweet potatoes. They're higher in vitamins such as A and C. Or go for darker shades of greens. Romaine lettuce, for example, has nearly seven times the vitamin C and twice the calcium of its paler iceberg cousin. The same holds true for fruit. Pink grapefruit, for instance, has more than 40 times the vitamin A of white grapefruit.
選擇顏色最鮮艷的水果。顏色越鮮艷,維他命就越高。少買淡色的生菜,芹菜,黃瓜,多選擇胡蘿卜,西紅柿,紅青椒和番薯。這些蔬果的維他命C和A含量很高。深色的生菜也是很好的選擇,比如長葉萵苣比透明包心菜有多七倍的維生素C和兩倍的鈣。水果亦如此,粉色葡萄柚含有比白色葡萄柚多40倍的維他命A。
