What colour is the most popular this year? Pale pink? Aquamarine Blue? Does eating green leafy vegetables alone equal a healthy diet? The most popular diet rule now is making your meals colourful like a rainbow! In fact, each vegetable and fruit colour contains unique phytonutrients with different benefits.

Red foods such as pomegranates, tomatoes, beets, cherries, etc. help protect cells, the heart, and vascular health.
 
Yellow foods like carrots, pumpkins, lemons, bananas, etc. help strengthen the body’s immune system and whiten the skin. They also help promote intestinal health.
 
Green vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, cucumbers, kale, avocados and kiwis help with digestion. They also help to protect the liver, lungs and other organs, and hasten the healing of wounds.
 
Purple-blue eggplants, blueberries and grapes help delay aging and serve as antioxidants, preventing memory loss.
 
White garlic and onions fight against inflammation and help boost the immune system.
 
Black sesame and fungus help lower blood lipids and blood sugar.
 
Brown walnuts and buckwheat help increase good cholesterol in the blood and improve the digestive system.
