Synopsis

This health and nutrition guide is based on the idea that everyone fits into one of three body types. Identifying each type by a simple colour - red, yellow or green - Zimmerman provides a questionnaire to help readers determine their primary and complimentary colours and explains which foods are best for which colour types. For example, reds do very well on a vegetarian diet, yellows need some animal protein to feel their best, and greens will reap benefits from pungent foods and strong spices. "Eat your Colours" has information on news-making topics such as phytoestrogens, which can reduce the risk of breast cancer, lutein and zeaxonthin, which protect the eyes of computer users and prevent the common eye disorder macular degeneration, and anthocyanidins, which reduce inflammation in cases of chronic disease. This book offers practical, easy-to-follow advice on: creating meal plans using the optimal foods for each colour; using herbs, spices, sauces and condiments to balance off-colours; and discovering weaknesses and combating them by eating the right foods.
