Look down at your plate, What are you feeding today?

The phrase, “Every time you eat or drink, you are either feeding disease or fighting it,” by Heather Morgan is so true.
Most people don’t make the connection between the food they eat and the quality of their health.
The truth is, the food we eat directly effects our energy levels, how we feel, how we look, our immune system, and if we develop a disease.

FEED the diseases or FIGHT IT. The choice is yours.

Eat the Rainbow VI

White ◻️, Tan and Brown 🍂

Yes I know, the colors white, tan and brown aren’t in the real rainbow, but they are an important part of our food rainbow. This week we will be wrapping up the Eat the Rainbow series with this dull but important color.
Colour isn’t the only indicator of phytonutrient content, and just because they don’t have the vibrant colourful pigments that other fruits and vegetables have, it doesn’t mean they don’t have any nutritional value. These fruits and veggies are chock-full of flavonoids, the powerful antioxidants that mop up free-radicals, counteracting the damage that can lead to cellular changes and disease.

This category of food includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, spices, and whole grains. These healthy foods have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. They also assist with liver and hormone health.

For instance, Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable rich in a healthy compound called sulforaphane. Garlic and onions are in the allium family of vegetables and contain the powerful compounds allicin and quercetin that help to reduce the risks of cancer and have anti-inflammatory properties. And selenium – found in mushrooms – plays a key role in supporting the immune system.

There are a few fruits available like pears, applesauce, coconut, dates, and lychees. The vegetable list includes cauliflower, garlic, onion, mushrooms, shallots, parsnips, turnips, bananas and potatoes.
Whole grains to consider when looking to eat in this category could be barley, rye, wheat and spelt, brown rice, purple rice, black rice, oats, millet, quinoa or farro. Brown liquids like coffee and tea are on the list.

Eat the rainbow V

Fruits and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet. They are low in calories and jam-packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre.
Remember, They fall into five different colour categories, red, orange/yellow, purple/blue, green and white/brown and each contain their own unique disease-busting chemicals called phytonutrients.

Purple 💜 and Blue 💙
Blue and purple foods contain anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage and could reduce the risk of cancer, stroke, and heart disease. Beetroot, radishes, and purple cabbage are full of nitrates that can help lower blood pressure naturally. Fruits – the darker, the better – contain phytochemicals that are known to repair damage from stress and inflammation.

Healthy purple food includes eggplant, purple cabbage, beetroot, radishes, purple carrots, black olives, berries (blueberries and blackberries), passionfruit, purple grapes, purple plums, prunes, and dark cherries.

EAT THE RAINBOW IV

GREEN 💚
Green colored fruits and vegetables are some of the healthiest foods you can eat.
They are rich in lutein, isothiocyanates, isoflavones, and vitamin K, which is essential for blood and bone health. Leafy green vegetables are loaded with antioxidants and folates: a nutrient that is especially valuable for pregnant women. Greens like Kale has as much calcium as milk and cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli could enhance your immune system and contain properties that could block cancer.

Green food helps lower blood pressure, improve heart function, reduces cardiovascular disease, and improves vision. And oh yeah, it also improves skin health, leaving you with a radiant, youthful glow.

Healthy green vegetables and fruits include leafy vegetables (kale, romaine lettuce, collard greens, spinach, swiss chard, bok choy, and arugula), broccoli, brussels sprouts, asparagus, zucchini, edamame, green beans, celery, cucumbers, peas (green peas, snow peas, snap peas), avocado, kiwi, green grapes, and green apples.

EAT THE RAINBOW III
When it comes to healthy eating, so much advice seems to center on what not to put in our mouths that it's easy to forget that there's a whole world of foods out there that are great for you.
Different colors offers different benefits, which is why it’s so important to eat the spectrum!

Yellow 💛 and Orange 🧡
The orange colored fruits and vegetables provide a variety of important nutrients in the diet. This vibrant color can enhance a bright and energizing mood as well as nourish the body.

The abundance of antioxidants, vitamins, fiber and phytonutrients in orange and yellow foods are good for your skin, hair, eyes and heart, and they may also reduce the risk of cancer.

We all need Vitamin C. Orange-colored fruit is packed with it, as well as carotenoids, including beta-carotene. Your body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which promotes healthy vision. Orange is also the color of many citrus fruits, which can help increase your blood flow and reduce your risk of having a stroke. And don’t forget to indulge in pumpkin, sweet potatoes or carrots. You can find these benefits in peaches, corn, cantaloupe and, well, oranges, too.
Eating the yellow part of the fruit and vegetable rainbow gives you many of the same benefits as eating foods that fall under the orange layer — vitamin C and carotenoids. Brighten up your plate with
some sweet corn, yellow bell peppers, pineapple, banana, squash or lemons.

EAT THE RAINBOW II

To illustrate the importance of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, health professionals often advise you to “eat the rainbow.” You probably know that you should eat colorful fruits and vegetables, but you may wonder why it’s so important and if doing so truly benefits your health.

Let’s eat the rainbow, shall we?
RED
Red fruits and vegetables are nature's powerhouse on nutrition and benefits. Foods that are red help reduce cancer risk, boost your immune system, could reduce the risk of diabetes and enhance brain and heart health. This is because they contain compounds like anthocyanidins and lycopene.

Try incorporating Healthy red foods such as tomatoes, red pepper, red onions, radish, red beans, beets, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, watermelon, grapes,plums, cherries, rhubarb, red apples, cherries, and pomegranate.

Eating the rainbow of different colored fruits and vegetables is a fundamentally healthy way to eat. This isn't just another fad diet like only eating white food or the grapefruit diet. Our bodies need a variety of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals to stay healthy, and nature has color coded these for us.
People tend to repeatedly eat the foods they like and miss out on a host of health benefits that come from consuming a wide range of fruits and vegetables. The easiest way to assure you eat what you need is to eat the rainbow and have two servings a day from every color group

In subsequent post, we'd show you a color guide to eating as nature intended.
