Fruits
& vegetables are a great source of fiber and the antioxidant
nutrient, vitamin C. Be sure to take a look at the Rainbow's
End to see why these are needed by your body.
Red
fruits & vegetables also contain some other important nutrients
and phytochemicals.

Watermelon,
pink grapefruit and tomatoes contain a phytochemical that can keep your
heart healthy.
 
Cherries
and strawberries contain another phytochemical that has been shown to
improve memory.
Eat plenty of this "brain fruit" to help you do well in school
and on tests! This phytochemical is also found in some blue
and purple fruits
so check them out, too!

apple a day really might keep the doctor away! Not only are they high
in fiber, but they have several other phytochemicals that keep your
heart healthy and protect you from cancer. Eat them with the skin on
for all the good stuff!
