(ARA) - It's no secret that fruits and vegetables are good for our health, but often we don't eat as many as we should. A supplement can be a good option, but how do you know which ones can actually give you the benefits of these healthy food groups?
It's quite simple, really - just look for the names of fruits and vegetables listed in the ingredients! Companies that sell products containing plant ingredients won't be shy about showing them off. For example, NUTRILITE(R)
Concentrated Fruits and Vegetables, a supplement that provides the phytonutrient equivalent of more than 10 servings of fruits and vegetables, lists extracts from blueberries, elderberries, spinach and other natural plant sources in its nutritional information.
Researchers are constantly trying to find the next big thing in regards to health and much of the current focus is on plants and their numerous health benefits. The research focuses specifically on powerful phytonutrients.
What are phytonutrients?Phytonutrients are organic compounds naturally occurring in fruits, vegetables, and nuts. These compounds are organized by color and the health benefits of phytonutrients come from the chemical composition that gives plants their vibrant red, yellow, green and other rich colors.
Phytonutrients are a hot topic right now because researchers are just starting to understand the associated health benefits, such as antioxidant protection, immune support, cell health, heart health, prostate health, eye health, and other positive health benefits.
