Choose Vibrant Veggies

People often think green when they think of vegetables, but some are vibrant-colored veggies in orange, yellow, red, and purple. By eating vegetables of varying colors (BEST CHOICE: tomatoes), you'll automatically get a range of phytonutrients, each of which has its own particular health-promoting strengths. These colorful plant foods also happen to be incredible sources of soluble and insoluble fiber ― both essential for hormonal balance and impossible to get from animal products. Make sure to eat five servings of veggies a day ― both raw and cooked ― and try to pick from each color category.
