Vegetables:  beets, red peppers, radishes, red onions, red potatoes, rhubarb, tomatoes

Each of us comes into the world with a predisposition toward one color or another.  You may have a red predisposition if you:

1.  ...have red hair, red in your hair, or are a strawberry blond.
2.  ...have a ruddy complexion, or get flushed easily.
3.  ...are impatient, or have a quick temper.
4.  ...have parents who had heart disease or high blood pressure.
5.  ...like to get things done quickly.

To balance the tendency toward too much red, eat from the other end of the color spectrum:  blues and purples.
