Colorful Choices of Five a Day

This may be the simplest nutrition program ever no calorie counting, no fat gram tabulating, no weighing and measuring. Just easy-to remember daily selections of colorful fruits and vegetables more then 50 to choose from! You aim for a minimum of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day for 20 days - 100 in all - in red, orange, yellow/white, green, and blue/violet.


Why Fruits and Vegetables?

Getting enough fruits and vegetables in your diet is the single most important nutrition habit you can adopt for better health. Eating more fruits and vegetables can reduce your risk of obesity, heart disease, some cancers, diabetes, hypertension and stroke while incresing energy and improving mood.


Why Color?

It's simple and helpful. By spreading daily fruit and vegetable choices across the rainbow of colors, you are guaranteed the best produce has to offer for better health. It's eye-catching and fun. Colors grab the imagination and stimulate the mind.


Why for 20 Days?

It takes about 3 weeks for any activity to become a habit. That's especially true with ingrained eating patterns. With daily decisions to make colorful choices, your nutrition habits turn towards produce naturally. By the end of the program, fruit and vegetable selections are part of your routine, not something that requires an extra effort.
