Red-colored fruits and vegetables are a source of lycopene, which slows the development of cellular mutations, reduces the risk of malignant tumors, supports the cardiovascular system, and enhances memory. It also helps to preserve youthfulness for longer.
Green vegetables and fruits are rich in magnesium, potassium, calcium, and vitamins A, B, and C, improving metabolic processes and digestion, increasing hemoglobin levels, and strengthening the nervous system.
