Cinco raciones peque\u00f1as al d\u00eda parece ser la recomendaci\u00f3n generalmente aceptada. <strong>La fruta y la verdura deben estar en nuestros platos<\/strong>, La fruta y la verdura son buenas para la salud, ya que ayudan a reducir el riesgo de diabetes y otras enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas y aportan al organismo importantes vitaminas, fibra alimentaria y otros nutrientes. De acuerdo: la fruta y la verdura son buenas para la salud, probablemente ya lo sab\u00edas. Pero a\u00fan puedes mejorar tus h\u00e1bitos alimentarios prestando m\u00e1s atenci\u00f3n al color de los alimentos.<br\/>\n<br\/>La palabra m\u00e1gica que da tanta importancia a los colores de los alimentos que comemos es <strong>fitoqu\u00edmicos<\/strong>. Los fitoqu\u00edmicos son compuestos qu\u00edmicos producidos por las plantas y son, entre otras cosas, los responsables del color de las frutas y verduras. Un grupo espec\u00edfico de fitoqu\u00edmicos, la fibra no digerible de los alimentos vegetales, ha aprobado beneficios para la salud como la reducci\u00f3n de los riesgos de ciertos tipos de c\u00e1ncer y enfermedades coronarias.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Detr\u00e1s de cada grupo de colores se esconde un beneficio especial para la salud.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Rojo:<\/strong> El color rojo procede de un pigmento vegetal llamado licopeno, que es un potente antioxidante y del que se dice que reduce el riesgo de c\u00e1ncer, accidentes cerebrovasculares y enfermedades card\u00edacas. Las frutas y verduras que contienen licopeno son: tomates, r\u00e1banos, fresas, ruibarbo, cerezas, etc.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Naranja\/amarillo:<\/strong> Este grupo tiene mucho que ofrecer, gracias a los carotenoides. El color procede del betacaroteno, un carotenoide que se encuentra, por ejemplo, en las zanahorias, las calabazas y los boniatos. Nuestro cuerpo convierte el betacaroteno en vitamina A, que ayuda a mantener sanas las mucosas y los ojos. Las naranjas y el ma\u00edz contienen niveles relativamente altos de otro carotenoide llamado lute\u00edna. La lute\u00edna tambi\u00e9n favorece la salud ocular. Los miembros de la familia de los c\u00edtricos -como los limones, las mandarinas o los pomelos- no s\u00f3lo contienen grandes cantidades de vitamina C, sino que tambi\u00e9n funcionan como ayuda digestiva.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Azul\/Morado:\u00a0<\/strong>El pigmento vegetal antocianina proporciona el color a frutas y verduras azules\/moradas como berenjenas, remolachas, col lombarda, moras, ar\u00e1ndanos o ciruelas. Los alimentos azules y morados contienen grandes cantidades de vitamina C, \u00e1cido f\u00f3lico, potasio y fibra diet\u00e9tica.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Verde:<\/strong> Las espinacas, la col rizada, el br\u00e9col, los kiwis y las manzanas verdes son s\u00f3lo algunos ejemplos de este gran grupo de colores, que contienen una gran variedad de fitoqu\u00edmicos, vitaminas y fibra diet\u00e9tica. La col rizada, por ejemplo, est\u00e1 repleta de vitamina K, A y C, hierro, antioxidantes y calcio de origen vegetal. Las manzanas verdes ayudan a mantener la salud digestiva e intestinal y son un sabroso manjar bajo en grasas. No es de extra\u00f1ar que los batidos verdes sean tan buenos para nosotros.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Marr\u00f3n\/Blanco:<\/strong> La familia de las cebollas, con miembros como la cebolleta, el cebollino y el ajo, contiene un fitoqu\u00edmico llamado alicina, del que se dice que ayuda a reducir el colesterol y la presi\u00f3n arterial y a combatir las infecciones gracias a sus propiedades antibacterianas. Los pl\u00e1tanos y las patatas son una buena fuente de potasio.<br\/>\n<br\/>Clasificar los alimentos por colores es una forma \u00fatil de conocer mejor todo el espectro sin tener que saber todos los nutrientes de cada fruta o verdura. Comer un \u201carco iris\u201d no curar\u00e1 enfermedades por arte de magia, pero puede ayudarle a mantenerse m\u00e1s sano y a a\u00f1adir m\u00e1s diversidad a sus h\u00e1bitos alimentarios.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Imagen de denizya\/Shutterstock<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_default\" ><h2>\u00a1Convi\u00e9rtelo en un juego!<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cComer arco iris\u201d puede ser divertido para ti (y\/o para tus hijos).
