Contain Lutein, zeaxanthin, resveratrol, vitamin C, fiber, flavonoids, ellagic acid, and quercetin. These nutrients support retinal health, lower LDL cholesterol, boost immune system activity, support healthy digestion, improve calcium and other mineral absorption, fight inflammation, reduce tumor growth, act as an anticarcinogen in the digestive tract, and limit the activity of cancer cells.
The food in the picture looks absolutely delicious! But have you ever wondered why we should strive to eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables? Consuming a variety of colours not only excites our taste buds but also provides a bounty of essential nutrients like flavonoids, lycopene, and lutein. Each hue brings unique benefits, making our meals not only more nutritious but also vibrantly appealing.
Benefits of Eating a Rainbow
Red
Red fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, strawberries, and red peppers are packed with lycopene, ellagic acid, and quercetin. These nutrients reduce the risk of prostate cancer, lower blood pressure, decrease tumour growth and LDL cholesterol levels, scavenge harmful free radicals, and support joint tissue, thus helping to prevent arthritis.Orange and Yellow
Foods such as carrots, citrus fruits, and sweet potatoes contain beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, flavonoids, and vitamin C. These nutrients are essential for reducing age-related macular degeneration, lowering LDL cholesterol, promoting collagen formation for healthy joints, and encouraging an alkaline balance in the body, all while supporting strong bones.Green
Green vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli boast nutrients such as chlorophyll, fiber, and lutein. Consuming these can greatly reduce cancer risks, improve digestion, lower blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, support retinal health and vision, fight harmful free radicals, and boost immune system activity.Blue and Purple
Don't forget about blue and purple foods like blueberries, eggplants, and purple cabbage! They are rich in lutein, resveratrol, and flavonoids, supporting retinal health, enhancing mineral absorption, reducing tumour growth, and acting as powerful antioxidants in the body. They also lower LDL cholesterol, boost immune system activity, support healthy digestion, and improve calcium and other mineral absorption.
