When you use a Rainbow as a nutritional guide you are ensuring that you are benefiting from a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are provided by each colour group. Eating all five colour groups every day is an excellent way to keep healthy and feeling your best.

 

Here is a very basic run down on each colour group and how it helps our bodies:
 

• Red - Very heart healthy and gives strength support to our joints.

• Orange - A great source of Vitamin C. This group helps keep our eyes healthy.

• Yellow - Good for our skin and helps our digestive system.

• Green - Helps our entire body and strengthens our immune systems.

• Purple/blue - Helps us with our memory and to keep some cancers away.
