Eating the rainbow is filled with a pot of gold benefits!
Red foods contain Lycopene, an antioxidant known to maintain heart health. Examples: strawberries, raspberries.

Orange foods are rich in beta carotene and lutein, which help maintain healthy eye function. Examples: carrots, pumpkins.

Yellow foods contain fiber, iron, potassium, and folate, as well as other nutrients that help with the heart, skin, eyes, bones, digestion, and immune system. Examples: Golden beets (great for kidney health when juiced), yellow dock (eliminates toxins, improves blood health), and dandelion (helps with indigestion and weight control!).

Green foods are great sources of folate, which promotes healthy pregnancies and metabolizes amino acids for healthy cell division.Examples: spinach, broccoli.

Purple and blue foods contain antioxidants that help protect cells from damage and reduce risk of stroke, cancer, and heart disease.Examples: blueberries, blackberries, eggplant.
