New York, NY (Merxwire) – Modern lives are busier than earlier times, saturated with information, and characterized by heightened levels of stress and complexity. Long-term irregular life, lack of sleep and exercise, and a high proportion of eating out will cause us to have more health problems. We need to adjust our life and diet, strengthen nutritional supplements, and prevent the occurrence of diseases. People who eat out often suffer from insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables, so they are more likely to be deficient in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, such as anthocyanins and lycopene. Therefore, supplementing multi-colored foods, vegetables and fruits, and ingesting more nutrients can help to regulate body functions and maintain youthful vitality.

According to nutritional research, maintaining the “rainbow diet” every day will be able to absorb the most kinds of nutrients, which will help to improve immunity, prevent chronic diseases, maintain the radiance and vitality of the skin, and of course, it can also resist aging and cancer.
