Eat the Rainbow: Why Colorful Veggies Matter for Preventive Care

What if your plate could help prevent chronic disease? It can—and the secret is in the colors. Each color in fruits and vegetables delivers unique nutrients and antioxidants:

- Red (tomatoes, beets): heart health

- Orange/Yellow (carrots, squash): eye health & immunity

- Green (kale, broccoli): detox support, bone health

- Blue/Purple (berries, cabbage): brain & memory support

- White (garlic, onions): antimicrobial & heart health

In communities with limited access to fresh produce, eating the rainbow isn’t always easy—but community gardens, local farms, and mobile markets are changing that. Places like City Fresh in Cleveland, Ohio ensure that farm fresh produce can make it on to the plates of everyone- regardless of their zip code or finances!  For the next 12 months, you'll get to follow me as I work with them ensuring more people have access to healthy foods and nourishing education!
