Wellness Tip: Good Nutrition-Eat the Rainbow

Everyone knows that eating fruits and vegetables is an important part of a balanced diet, but did you know that each color provides different nutrients? So eat your greens, but also eat your oranges, blues and reds!

According to a Harvard blog, there are phytonutrients in every color, fruits and vegetables sorted by color, along with the phytonutrients they contain, and which foods you’ll find them in.”

Red: Protects against prostate cancer and heart and lung disease

Orange and Yellow: Supports intracellular communication

Green: Contains chemicals that block cancer

Blue and Purple: Contain antioxidants that prevent cellular aging prevent blood clots

White and Brown: Contains anti-tumor properties and antioxidants.

this was a quick put together. Shredded rotisserie chicken, greens and chopped veggies, quinoa, seeds, dried fruit, and crispy chickpeas. This might have been my quickest meal prep. Healthy, quick, and satisfying.

It must be Monday. Prepping food for our week helps keep us moving.
