Just by the use of colours you can balance your diet. All you need to do is to pay a
little attention to the food you eat. Nutrition experts strongly recommend adding
colours to your diet. Sweets and candy bars are generally colourful, but remember
they do not contain natural colours and hence are not healthy. The key solution is
a variety of naturally coloured foods. The deeper the colour, the greater the
benefits.
Getting more colours in your diet doesn’t mean you have to drastically change
your current eating habits. Have a glass of 100% juice in the morning. Keep a mix
of dried fruits on hand for a quick snack. Grab an apple or banana on your way
out. Include at least two vegetables in your dinner. Get into the habit of starting
your dinner with a salad. Eat fruit for dessert. Always add greens to sandwiches.
Most red fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, which offer protection
against ultraviolet rays and cancer, and helps to prevent urinary tract infections
and diseases related to the circulatory system. Green vegetables along with being
appealing possess excellent antioxidant properties that protect the eyes by
keeping the retina in good condition and reduce the risk of cancerous tumours.
The orange and yellow group is rich in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that
improves cell communication and thereby helps to stop the spread of cancer.
While the blue and purple group adds an element of richness to your plate,
influences the pineal gland (the third eye) and the nervous system. The white
group contains sulphur compounds that protect the DNA and flavonoids, an
antioxidant that protects cell membranes.Therefore, the more colourful your diet is, the better equipped your immune
system would be to cope with diseases.
