Just by the use of colours, you can balance your diet. All you need to do is to pay a little attention to the food you eat. Nutrition experts strongly recommend adding colours to your diet. Sweets and candy bars are generally colourful but remember they do not contain natural colours and hence are not healthy. The key is a variety of naturally coloured foods. Deeper the colour, greater the benefits. Getting more colours in your diet does not mean you have to drastically change your current eating habits.
Most red fruits and vegetables contain an antioxidant, which offers protection against ultraviolet rays and cancer, and helps to prevent urinary tract infections and diseases related to the circulatory system. Green vegetables not only look great but also possess excellent antioxidant properties that protect your eyes by keeping the retina in good condition and reduce the risk of cancerous tumours. Orange and yellow group fruits contain beta-carotene, an antioxidant that improves cell communication and thereby helps to stop the spread of cancer. Blue and the purple group not only adds richness to your plate but also has an influence on the pineal gland (the third eye) and the nervous system. The white group contains sulphur compounds that protect DNA and also contain flavonoids, the antioxidants that protect cell membranes.
Therefore, the more colourful the diet is (all natural colours, of course), the better equipped your immune system is to cope with diseases.
