Purple and White


This blog is the last of our food color installments. We are very excited to introduce our new product line - Eminence, that will come to Spa Shawnee and Salon in December.

Here we go!

Purple and blues are found in blueberries, prunes, red wine, cranberries, strawberries, figs, red apples, and blackberries. Blueberries contain more antioxidants than any other fruit or vegetable. Although all of these fruits mentioned above contain many antioxidant properties. Purple or blue fruits have shown to prevent nerve cells from weakening in the brain and perhaps protect against effects of physical aging. These fruits have positive effects on the heart, in that they prevent blood clots.

White vegetation is found in onions, celery, pears, leeks, garlic, shallots, chives and white wine. They are known to inhibit abnormal cell growth and are imperative antioxidants that a body needs. Some of the benefits are the rising levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol, decrease dangerous levels of triglycerides, which are blood fats, and easing the inflammation of asthma and eliminate colds and the flu.
