Welcome Everyone, Everywhere!
We've been learning about "Anytime vs Sometimes" foods and "Whole vs Processed" foods in our garden classes.
Another great way to think about eating healthy is to "Eat a Rainbow," that is, eating as many natural colors of the rainbow as possible!
Each color of the rainbow helps our bodies in a different way.
Try to eat fresh fruits and vegetables of each color:
Orange - helps your eyes - Vitamin D
Yellow - helps your immune system - Vitamin C
Green - helps our digestive tract, it's the "broom" for our bodies - Fiber
Blue/Purple - helps brain function - Flavanoids
Brown/Tan - helps the lymph system - Allyl Sulfides
*Eating the full rainbow ensure our bodies get the nutrients we need to be healthy!
