Pink, the New Color of Health…
On a recent shopping trip to the market, I was reminded of the need to step out of our daily routines and be adventurous, even with something seemingly as simple as our food. While loading produce in my cart, I was taken by a little boy (about 2-3 years old) who reached out from his cart to grab a spiny, red fruit and held it out for his Dad who was picking other produce. The Dad told him he wasn’t sure what it was, but “let’s get it and try something new”! How wonderful to encourage children to be adventurous with food and not give the typical, rushed reaction to put it back in the bin.
This pinkish red fruit caught my attention and reminded me of how we can change the pink ribbon meaning, just a little, to not only mean research and treatment of breast cancer, but the need for prevention! It all starts with our mindset and taking a little time to be open and adventurous. I’m sure you’re wondering how “pink” can relate to our food. Check out these delicious options that pack lot’s of cancer fighting properties.
