After a certain age, nutrition is the main key to stay young and fit. To achieve a balanced diet, a great sacrifice is not required, just a little common sense and a slight change of habits. For example, why not start our lunch with a burst of colours? Why not make our plate as if it were a work of art? What do you notice in a variety of colorful vegetables? We can form a green background with broccoli or Brussels sprouts, rich in vitamins A and D. The cream of potato or cauliflower, two of the most comprehensive foods go well with the combination of orange carrots, rich in carotenes, which process in the liver and transform into vitamin A. For a more lively color how about some beets? It reduces blood pressure and fights anemia. Why not add some peas and some grains of corn which are highly nutritious? In the end, a touch of golden colour with a good bit of olive oil, which has a list of healing properties too long to enumerate. And little to no salt.
