Benefits of Colorful Diet
We have all heard it a thousand times, that one should include lots of fruits and vegetables in their everyday diet. Multi-coloured plant foods don't just look good on your plate - they're good for you as well. Fruits and veggies are low in fat, cholesterol and sodium, and very high in complex carbohydrates, fiber and a variety of nutrients. But today, we are going to give you another reason to eat fruits and vegetables- colors. If you are wondering, what is the connection between color and food, then let us first get introduced to the concept of phytochemicals. Phytochemicals occur naturally in plants and have a range of health benefits. Fruits and vegetables of different colours contain different phytochemicals, and, therefore, different health benefits. The phrase ‘eating a rainbow’ can be taken quite literally in this case. And eating a variety of colours will also make your food aesthetically pleasing and a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach.
