Make Valentines Day a Healthy Red Breakfast Day

Valentines Day will soon be here.  As we plan to decorate our classrooms, offices and homes in red, why not think about all the healthy red food we can eat for breakfast or snack.  Red fruit and vegetables are packed with powerful antioxidants, such as lycopene and anthocyanin.  These antioxidants are not only good for helping give food their red color, but they are also good for helping keep your heart healthy. I can’t think of a better reason to eat red on Valentines Day.
