Eating Colors for Health
Have you ever looked at your plate and noticed it’s kind of… beige? Lots of people do! But here at Unbeaten Fitness, we’re all about adding more color to your meals. Why? Because those colors do more than just brighten up your plate—they pack a big punch for your health too!
Why Colors Matter
Every color in fruits and vegetables holds different nutrients and benefits. Imagine your plate is like a rainbow, with each color offering its own superpower. Here’s a quick guide to what those colors mean for your body:
Green for Growth
Green veggies like spinach, broccoli, and kale are full of vitamins and minerals that support strong bones, muscles, and eyesight. They can even help keep your brain sharp!
Red for Heart
Foods like tomatoes, strawberries, and red peppers are great for your heart. They help manage blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart diseases. Plus, they’re super tasty!
Yellow & Orange for Immunity
Want to fight off those annoying colds? Add some carrots, oranges, and bananas to your diet. They’re loaded with vitamins that help your immune system stay strong.
Blue & Purple for Longevity
Blueberries, plums, and eggplants not only look cool but also are filled with antioxidants. These help your body fight off diseases and can keep you looking and feeling younger.
Mixing It Up
Now, you might be thinking, “That’s a lot of different foods to add to my diet!” But it’s easier than you think. Start with small changes. Add spinach to your morning eggs or throw some berries into your cereal. Every little bit of color helps!
Challenging Yourself
How about we make it fun? Try to see how many different colors you can eat in a week. Make it a game! You might discover some new foods you love, and your body will thank you for the variety.
