Are you a fall, spring, summer or winter? That's a question many women ask themselves to tailor their makeup and wardrobe shades to their natural coloring. That's fine when you're talking about clothes and eye shadow, but when it comes to good nutrition, especially during pregnancy, it's time to toss out the complementary coloring rules and go wild. Try reds with greens (even if it's not Christmas), blues, yellows, oranges and even dull (but nutritious) white.

Sure, we know it's easy to fall into food ruts in everyday life, but when you're pregnant you need to make sure there are plenty of nutrients to go around.

"Unless there are serious dietary issues on the mother's part, if a woman doesn't eat right while she's pregnant the baby isn't compromised, the mother is," says Lori Rittel, public health nutritionist for the Montana WIC (Women, Infants and Children) Program. "The baby is provided with all the nutrients it needs first. So, for example, if you don't drink enough milk, calcium will be taken from your bones. It can be a big draw on a woman's system."

While we'd love to take credit for the whole idea of grouping fruits and vegetables by color, the truth is, Produce for Better Health Foundation is way ahead of us on this one. Their 5 A Day The Color Way campaign encourages Americans to eat a wider variety of fruits and vegetables by thinking about color.
