Antioxidants and other beneficial phytonutrients are concentrated in the pigments of deeply colored fruits and vegetables — that’s why color is the key to healthy eating. The National 5 A Day Partnership recommends eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables every day to get the full spectrum of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients your body needs to stay healthy and fit. As Dr. James Joseph, author of The Color Code says, “You can’t go wrong if you fortify your diet with colorful foods…Think health, think color!” When it comes to the color blue, think Wild Blueberries.

Wild Blueberries and the New Food Guide Pyramid

Put the 2005 USDA Dietary Guidelines into action with the help of USDA’s interactive website www.mypyramid.gov

Eat more fruits and vegetables every day! That’s the latest rallying cry from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). According to the new Food Guide Pyramid, which translates the USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 into recommendations for consumers, adults should be striving for 4½ cups of fruits and vegetables each day, based on an average 2000 calorie level. (The right amount for you will depend on your age, gender and activity level.) The reason: fruits and vegetables provide a variety of micronutrients and fiber, which are associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.

If you’re looking for delicious ways to get the recommended amount of fruit into your daily diet — 1½ – 2 cups for adults — you’ll find Wild Blueberries the ideal choice. Just 1/2 cup of Wild Blueberries delivers a fruit serving that’s packed with anti-aging antioxidants and is a good source of dietary fiber. It’s a Daily Dose of Blue that’s easy, tasty and so good for you.
