Would you believe that the most powerful medicine cabinet in your house is in your refrigerator, not your bathroom?

The prescription is ridiculously simple: Your plate should look like a rainbow.

Eating the rainbow is not just another wellness trend. Stay tuned to learn why food color matters, and what each hue does for your body.

Some simple tips for “eating the rainbow”:

Add more colorful foods to the meals you already enjoy
Use simple add-ins that don’t noticeably change the taste (e.g., spinach in smoothies)
Aim to include all five color groups across your day, but not necessarily in every meal
Keep frozen fruits and vegetables on hand as a backup option
