What Color of Food Do You Eat?

It’s an odd thing.

Humans have been eating fruits and vegetables for thousands of years. All kinds and colors of them, and in great quantity.

Today we don’t eat fruits and veggies that way.

First off, we don’t eat nearly as much colorful plant-based foods as we used to, even from a few generations ago.

Second, people tend to limit themselves to eating the same produce over and over again. They might eat broccoli, corn, green beans and green salads on a regular basis. Maybe toss some onion, mushroom or celery in certain meals. And on occasion they’ll enjoy a favorite fruit – say a banana, orange, peach or apple.

MD Exposes the Hidden Danger to Your Eyes

When your eyesight starts to fail, it's a real problem. Suddenly you can't go to the grocery store... you can't get to the doctor if you have an emergency... you can't meet your friends for dinner…

Your "regular" doctor doesn't have time to keep up with the latest research. And the same goes for eye doctors. They go to school to learn how to fit you for glasses and contacts, but have no way of preventing the damage and loss of eyesight that threatens your freedom and independence.

Let me show you something that explains a LOT about how your eyes work.

What about all of those other fruits and veggies out there?

Where did all of the colors go?

This is a big deal, because a variety of colorful plant-based foods are what feed the gut microbiome. And today those friendly microbes in our guts need more help than ever!

That’s because the produce we eat today doesn’t have nearly the nutritional value it once did. Plus, we have herbicides, pesticides, poisons and hormones in our foods. That means we need even more plant-based fiber in our diets than our ancestors did.

So when you eat the same plant-based foods week after week, you aren’t doing yourself any favors. Instead, you’re hobbling the microbial diversity of your gut, which means you’re creating an inflammatory environment and potentially future allergic responses to those same foods.

Next thing you know you’re dealing with serious health concerns, like obesity, heart disease, diabetes and bowel issues.

So I like mixing all of the colors up every day. And it’s not just about salads!

One day I can have organic red tomatoes with yellow squash, purple eggplant and green spinach (think veggie lasagna). The next I might wok some broccoli with carrots, baby corn, red bell pepper and yellow onion with my protein of choice that day…chicken, shrimp, tofu, even beef. After you get the hang of it, wokking is easy fun and your meal is done in minutes.

It’s fun to mix and match your colors to see how many creative meals you can come up with. And there are so many choices.

 RED  Red bell pepper, red cabbage, red onion, tomatoes, radishes, red chile peppers.
 Cherries, pomegranate, strawberries, cranberries, watermelon, blood orange, watermelon.

They are high in antioxidants, promote a healthy gut microbiome, offer great immune and anti-inflammatory support, help control blood sugar, boost your circulatory system and assist you in your weight loss efforts.

This means eating them is one of the easiest things you can do to help lower your risk for chronic diseases. This includes things like cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and age-related decline. They’ll even help protect you from viral infections.

Tips to Improve Your Rainbow Eating Results

I don’t like buying commercial fruits and vegetables. I want to avoid GMO franken-foods. And I don’t want a big dose of harmful pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides on my food. These chemicals are routinely used on commercial crops.

So as a rule of thumb, always remember to purchase organically grown fruits and veggies.

I also recommend buying from local farmers markets whenever possible.  After all, the food grown down the road is likely better for me than the food shipped in from an average of 1500 miles away or worse, another country.

Last but not least, supplement your nutritional needs with the things you’re missing from your foods. This like includes vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, the B-vitamins, vitamin A, CoQ10, and calcium.
