PURPLE is the new green that can keep YOU healthy!
Most people consider ‘green’ foods to be the healthiest colour in their diet, when in fact ‘purple’ foods contain 10 times the health benefits!
Foods such as blackcurrant, acai, mangosteen, and pomegranate are all considered ‘purple foods’. These purple foods guard against ageing, joint inflammation, eyestrain, kidney stones, cardiovascular disease, cancer and urinary tract infections.
Ever wonder how these fruits get their deep purple color? It comes from the high level of anthocyanins contained within the fruit. These anthocyanins have strong anti-inflammatory properties and are being studied for a potential role in preventing Alzheimer’s disease and for preserving overall memory and brain health. The anthocyanins found in blackcurrant are also thought to protect against heart disease.
