I love to sit down to a colorful meal. Bright green beans, brilliant orange sweet potatoes, a salad mixed with yellow peppers, edemame, and bright red tomatoes -- a colorful plate glows with good nutrition. By eating a variety of colors -- yellow, green, orange, red, purple, and white -- you'll not only ensure that you're getting enough antioxidants, but that you're getting a good variety of nutrients as well.

Prevention has a handful of colorful recipes for your next meal, and if you're interested in what each color of fruit or vegetable can do for you, check out the gallery below.
