Eating From The Rainbow

My wife has begun to insist that we eat from the rainbow. She tells me there is good reason for this. I did a quick google search and now I agree!


"An easy and fun way to remember to eat your fruitsand vegetables is by thinking of eating the different colors of the rainbow. When eating fruits and veggies think of the different colors of the rainbow, this will help to introduce a variety of different nutrients and add spice to your diet by trying out new and more exotic fruits and veggies. These colorful foods deliver a healthful dose of vitamins, minerals, and  disease-fighting phytochemicals"

 "It's the colour of food that makes it extraordinary! Within each color are brightly coloured, disease-fighting phytochemicals. Study after study proves their healing power. Evidence suggests that single plant pigments need other phytochemicals within that plant and from others to provide all their benefits. Supplements do not offer the same protective benefits as foods." http://www.nutrition.ecsd.net/eat%20a%20rainbow.htm

"What Color is Your Food?

“Each coloured vegetable and fruit has unique properties and there is strong evidence that there are interactions between the colors that are beneficial to your health,” she says in a press release. “Eating by the rainbow is vitally important to your well-being.” http://blogs.canoe.ca/keepingfit/general/eat-a-rainbow-of-colours-for-optimal-health/

Page after page talks about the goodness of eating from the rainbow. Page after page talk about colors....vibrant colors, and how they have a positive effect on our health and happiness. We see it in art, we see it in nature, we see these vibrant rainbow colors all around.

Rest assured, we can bask in the rainbow. The rainbow is a covenant blessing to us from our creator and it is the very essence of completeness. Sounds crazy, but take some light and refract it and you will find that light is merely a rainbow.
