Eating the rainbow means choosing a variety of bright-colored whole foods each day. The more naturally occurring colors on your plate at mealtime, the better. By varying your color choices, you ensure that your body gets multitudes of vitamins and minerals that are necessary for proper function. According to www.choosemyplate.gov, at least half of your plate at each meal should consist of fruits and vegetables. See the below chart for more information about the nutrients each color category provides our bodies with and how they support us.
