    Rainbow Diet

    By: Diya Mukesh Jain


    VI B
    What do you think rainbow diet is?

    NOT THIS!!!
    This is rainbow diet .
    Introduction :
    The basis for the diet is the knowledge that each food color
    represents a certain type of antioxidant and helps prevent
    some times of cancer and heart disease. By eating a rainbow
    every day, you can ensure you are getting a wide range of
    protective and beneficial nutrients without having to worry
    over much about sticking to particular food plans
    Benefits of rainbow diet :
    Research has shown that eating a variety of these
    nutrients can work together to:
    • your immune system.
    • Lower your risk for certain cancers.
    • Help ward off type 2 diabetes.
    • Reduce high blood pressure.
    • Prevent some eye diseases.
    • Maintain urinary tract health.
    • Maintain heart health.
    • Improve memory
    • Help build strong bones and teeth.
    Benefits of white colored food:
    • White foods, which include garlic, onions, cauliflower
    and radish, are primarily useful for boosting immunity
    and reducing inflammation, viral infections and fungal
    infections.

    • The nutrients they contain are anthoxanthins (these


    contain health-promoting chemicals which can lower
    blood cholesterol levels), sulphur (it has cancer-fighting
    properties) and quercetin (it improves immunity).
    Benefits of yellow colored food:
    • Yellow foods, which include lemons, pineapples, yellow
    peppers and grapefruits, are rich sources of vitamin C and
    are excellent for preventing colds coughs, allergies and
    inflammation.

    • The citrus bioflavonoid that impart the yellow color in


    these foods also help in firming up skin texture, and
    strengthen tendons and ligaments because they support
    collagen production.
    Benefits of Orange colored food:
    • Orange foods like carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and
    oranges are high in the phytonutrient beta-carotene, which
    the body converts to vitamin A.

    • Vitamin A plays a vital role in building immunity and in


    strengthening membranous tissue. Vitamin A is also good
    for the eyes, hair and skin.
    Benefits of Red colored food:
    • Red foods like tomatoes, watermelon, beetroot and red
    bell peppers are rich with the antioxidants lycopene and
    anthocyanin. These protect the skin and strengthen cell
    structure and therefore aid in circulation of blood while
    also regulating blood pressure.

    • Tomatoes also protect the body from ultraviolet


    radiation. A point to note is that the antioxidant
    lycopene in tomatoes is best absorbed when they are
    cooked, especially in olive oil.
    Benefits of Purple/Blue colored food:
    • Purple fruits and vegetables have the richest storehouse
    of antioxidants among all foods—the list includes purple
    cabbage, eggplant, blueberries and blackberries.

    • Purple foods are often called super foods because they


    can greatly improve the quality of life by raising levels of
    HDL, or the good cholesterol, in the body, offering
    protection from a wide range of diseases, and improving
    brain function.
    Benefits of Green colored food:
    • Green foods like spinach, broccoli, green beans, celery,
    methi and green leafy vegetables are rich in chlorophyll,
    which supports liver and kidney function.

    • Green foods are also rich in vitamin K that helps regulate


    blood clotting and aids the building of strong bones.
    Rainbow diet adds colour to our meal
    and colour to our life.

    Thankyou
