Why It Is Important To "Eat A Rainbow"

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:  I have set my RAINBOW in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 

Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the
RAINBOW appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.  

​
Whenever the 
RAINBOW appears  in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” 

                                                                                Genesis 9:12-16(NIV)


                                Eating the RAINBOW is a fundamental healthy eating tip.
​
                             (And no, not artificially colored foods like Skittles or M&M's !)

Nature has an ingenious way of highlighting the nutrients in plants, each color signifies different nutrients which are beneficial to our bodies. By eating an array of colorful fruits and vegetables, you can provide your body with everything it needs. But what does it mean?



I. Why is it important to get a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in your diet?

You may be tempted to find a few foods you or your kids or family members like and to focus on eating those. And it can be easy to fall into routines. But the truth is: Our bodies benefit from variety. For optimal health, we need a RAINBOW of nutrients and colors.

In fact, the variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables have enormous healing powers. And many of them bring their own distinctive colors.
Eating a diversity of colorful foods can be an easy way to get a complete range of the vitamins and minerals your body needs to thrive.



The advice to “eat the RAINBOW” is often used with kids.
And while kids especially need a diversity of foods in their diets, so do adults.


II. Why Are Fruits and Vegetables So Many Different Colors?

Each color in fruits and vegetables is caused by specific phytonutrients, which are natural chemicals that help protect plants from germs, bugs, the sun’s harmful rays, and other threats.


And each color indicates an abundance of specific nutrients.

III. Most People Aren’t Getting the Range of Colorful Foods They Need.

According to a 2009 phytonutrients report (based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys), Eight (8) out of ten (10) people in the United States are falling short in virtually every color category of phytonutrients. 
​
Based on the report,
  • 69% of Americans are falling short in green phytonutrients
  • 78% of Americans are falling short in red phytonutrients
  • 86% of Americans are falling short in white phytonutrients
  • 88% of Americans are falling short in purple and blue phytonutrients
  • 79% of Americans are falling short in yellow and orange phytonutrients


Now, let’s take a look at what the color of your food can tell you about its nutrition — and at how you can get more of the colorful range of phytonutrients to help your body function at its best

IV. How to Learn to Love Vegetables and Fruits

If you grew up eating only a few fruits and vegetables, you might not have developed an appreciation for produce. But don’t worry. You can retrain your taste buds to love broccoli, kale, and beets!
Here’s what you can do for yourself and for kids:

A. Avoid processed food with lots of meat, cheese, salt, and sugar. These foods overstimulate your taste buds and put you into the Pleasure Trap, making fresh fruits and vegetables taste boring in comparison.

B. Try new vegetables and fruits over and over again in different ways. It can take up to twelve(12) to eighteen(18) tastes to acquire a taste for a new food. So, if you once hated arugula or mushrooms, that’s okay. Try again in a different recipe. Like me, you might surprise yourself!

Please share this information with someone who may benefit & keep this as a reminder for yourself.

Remember, your health is truly your wealth. Make the investment towards your journey towards better health & wellness.

"Irish Moss" is actually not a “moss,” but is a part of the seaweed family. It is a “red seaweed” and it comes from Ireland, hence its name, and is mostly used in soups as a thickening agent to aid the sick and malnourished. 

Our Sea Moss is wild-crafted, harvested from several Caribbean Islands.  It is a mineral-dense cell-food, enriched with Iron, Vitamins A, D, E & K and has 92 minerals out of the 102 minerals the body requires.

Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit,
​because the water from the sanctuary flows to them.
Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”
