5 Colors to Better Health

5 Colors to Better Health addresses the timely topic of health—obesity, hypertension disease, and the life-saving benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

Wake up, America! Dr. Releford’s overwhelming mission is to see people live richer, fuller, and more productive lives. It’s possible if we begin making better food choices instead of feeding ourselves and our children greasy burgers, chips, and sodas. Listen to the words of wisdom coming to us across the centuries from the lips of Hippocrates: Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. The 5 Colors Program is a simple low-keyed approach to adopting a better and healthier lifestyle—a radical challenge to modern wisdom and a new way of thinking. It’s a more holistic approach to wellness. Included are healthy cooking recipes.
