February is Heart Health Month and Black History Month! We celebrate both by highlighting ways to keep our bodies healthy! Did you know that the colors within our fruits and vegetables contain properties that help to optimize every system of the body? Each color contains different pigments, or phytonutrients, that give them their color. These phytonutrients provide higher levels of specific nutrients and offer health benefits like reducing inflammation and maintaining healthy digestion. Some phytonutrients even protect against cancer and heart disease! So, make a commitment to your heart and your overall health to eat from the rainbow and set a goal of 3-5 servings of these powerhouse foods every day! Dr. Yola's orders!!!
