Tip 9. Eat the Rainbow: The Benefits of a Colorful Diet
Consuming a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is essential for ensuring you’re getting a diverse array of nutrients. Each color group offers unique health benefits, from supporting a strong immune system to promoting healthy eyesight.
To incorporate more colorful produce into your diet, aim to fill at least half of your plate with fruits and vegetables at each meal. This can help ensure you’re getting a variety of nutrients and make your meals more visually appealing.
In addition to focusing on the quantity of fruits and vegetables you consume, be mindful of the quality. Whenever possible, opt for fresh, in-season produce, as it tends to be more flavorful and nutrient-dense. If fresh options aren’t available, frozen fruits and vegetables can be a convenient and nutritious alternative. (9)
