Vegetables are available in every colour, with each colour representing specific contents; a yellow colour represents a source of beta-carotene for example. To ensure that the body is getting all the nutrients required, it is recommended that people should eat as ‘colourfully’ as possible. Eating colourful foods maintains a constant supply of anti-oxidants to the body, which will assist in keeping dangerous free radical formation to a minimum.
In addition, people can also stimulate digestion by sight, rather than simply smell or taste.
Try this bright yellow soup, which also has a very intensive taste, and see how refreshed you feel afterwards.
