Rainbow Foods

Here's a good article I came across about fruits and vegetables.  It points out that you are better off getting antioxidants and nutrients from whole foods and vegetables rather than from supplements.  Many people could guess that, but the article goes on to point out the benefits of combining fruits and vegetables to get even more benefits.

For example, it describes how eating fruits together can yield even more antioxidant benefit than if the foods were eaten individually.  The article also points out how the fat in avocados helps the body absorb the carotenoids in romaine and carrots. 

Many nutritionists recommend getting a "rainbow" of fruit and vegetables at meals.  This article confirms that this is good advice.
