You would think that since the color is associated with purity, then it should translate to good health. Not if we’re talking about too much rice. “A lot of rice translates to excess calories. Eventually it will be stored as fats. Unli-rice also increases the risk for diabetes,” says Jemely Mangosan, dietician at The Medical City, Pampanga.

Nature probably packed all the good stuff in green hoping you’d be tempted to eat what she had blanketed the earth with. “The green in vegetables is rich in vitamins B complex, K, and C,” Mangosan says. B is for making new cells; K is for bone health; C is for immunity. Ampalaya and okra have them all but you’re not eating them, which we can fully understand.
