HEALTHY FOOD
Some people classify food to the food pyramid – fats,
sugars, proteins, fibers, grains. Others classify them according to food types
– types –fruit, meat, fish and vegetables. Modern dieticians go back to the
teachings of our great-grandmothers and say that food has to be colorful.
The color of food is determined by pigments. Pigments not
only color fruit, vegetables, and other foods, but also protect our organism against
diseases.
