Synopsis

The five color groups of fruits and vegetables — orange, purple, green, white, and red — each have a unique set of health benefits. The fresh-tasting, innovative recipes in Eat Well, Live Well shows how eating well from a rainbow variety of plant foods every day gives your body all the essential nutrients it needs to live well.

A good plant-based diet can be transformative, contributing to mental acumen, healthy bodies, and disease protection. The color lent to fresh fruits and vegetables from phytochemicals is among the best indications of those nutritional qualities. Each of the five chapters in this beautifully photographed cookbook focuses on a single color of the plant-based spectrum, inspiring over 100 recipes for a varied diet rich in natural nutrients.
