Eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables isn’t just visually appealing; it’s one of the simplest ways to support your overall health! 🌿

Different colors often mean different nutrients:
🍎 Red – antioxidants like lycopene, supporting heart health
🥕 Orange & Yellow – vitamin C and beta-carotene for immunity and vision
🥦 Green – folate, fiber, and chlorophyll for digestion and detox
🍇 Purple & Blue – anthocyanins for brain health and inflammation
⚪ White & Brown – compounds like allicin to support immunity

Including a rainbow of produce in your diet can help boost immunity, protect your heart, improve digestion, and enhance overall well-being. 🌟

Start small, add one colorful fruit or veggie to each meal and watch the benefits grow!
