Rainbow Shredded Vegetable Stir-Fry

Why people make this dish

As we get older, our blood vessels stiffen and our taste buds dull, so without noticing we start reaching for saltier food — salt fish, pickles, preserved meats. Too much salt thickens the blood and makes the heart work harder, which nudges blood pressure up. Nourilo’s simple answer is to keep daily meals light, and this colorful plate of shredded vegetables proves that “light” does not have to mean “bland.”
