Dr. Bill Releford Promotes Healthy Lifestyle With His Book, "5 Colors to Better Health"
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 16, 2013 -- In his book, "5 Colors to Better Health", Dr. Bill Releford lays out a straightforward lifestyle that promotes nutrition and health instead of one filled with fast and processed foods. Since the month of September observes not only childhood obesity awareness, but also recognizes the importance of fruits and veggies, and cholesterol education, Dr. Releford’s simple advice to eat five colors a day to achieve better health is particularly relevant.
"It’s way too convenient to grab a burger or a bucket of chicken and call it dinner," says Dr. Releford. "Keep this in mind, though: Just one fast-food meal can contain more calories, fat, and sodium than you should eat in a single day!"
The strategies in "Five Colors to Better Health" are easy to follow. Colorful, fresh foods have the most nutrients, and are good for you. Continues Dr. Releford, "Eating a colorful diet helps reduce blood pressure, can decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke, and lessen the incidence of diabetes and other chronic diseases."
