Nutrition Tuesday: Eating the rainbow isn't just pretty - different coloured fruits and vegetables provide different nutrients! Red foods (tomatoes, strawberries) have lycopene, orange foods (carrots, sweet potatoes) have beta-carotene, and purple foods (eggplant, blueberries) have anthocyanins. Mix it up! Book an appointment with your GP to discuss your nutritional needs. They can provide personalised dietary advice, assess for nutrient deficiencies, and refer you to a dietitian if needed for specialised nutrition support.
