IG: FACT OF THE DAY: Each color of food comes with a different health benefit🌈! This is why it is SO important to incorporate different colors into your daily meals. No need to go crazy, as a little bit of each colour will do, but it just needs to be there daily! Here’s the lowdown: 🍓🍒🌶️ Red foods contain phytonutrients that may help reduce the risk for certain cancers, along with helping to protect the brain, heart, liver, & immune system. 🍑🥕🍊 Orange foods help protect the immune system, eyes, and skin, and reduce the risk for cancer & heart disease. 🍋🍌🌽 Yellow foods are beneficial because they contain compounds that are anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, & may protect the brain, heart and vasculature, eyes, & skin. 🥦🥒🍏 Green foods contain compounds that are anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and may protect the brain, heart & vasculature, liver, and skin. One of the unique attributes of some green foods is that because they help the liver to work better, they can also assist with keeping hormones in balance. 🍇🍆🍠 Blue/purple/black foods from nature are healthy because they contain compounds that are anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory & may protect the brain, heart, & vasculature. 𝙄𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙨, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙨. Unfortunately, too little blue/purple is not healthy since these compounds are especially used for the brain, protecting it from damage and promoting healthy cognition and memory. 🥥🌰🥜 The white/tan/brown food category includes nuts, fruits, vegetables, legumes, spices, seeds, & whole grains that are beneficial to health. In fact, healthy white/tan/brown foods have anti-cancer & anti-inflammatory activity. What makes this class of compounds also special is that like the green foods, there are certain compounds that can assist with liver & hormone health. Did you notice that EVERY colour of food had something in common? [spoiler: it’s anti-cancer properties
