A helpful guide to eating a balanced diet for your gut. Eat the rainbow! Many adults don’t come close to eating foods from each color group every week. Something as simple as shifting your focus before you go grocery shopping can actually help you incorporate more variety into your meals. And it’s honestly easier than you think! The next time you are out shopping for produce, try to pick something up from each color group. The more variety in colors, the more diversity you are introducing to your gut microbiome. And by that I mean, your gut actually benefits from eating more colorful foods! Just not the processed dyed ones. 🤪 Stick to the whole food sources. And don’t forget spices count too!!!
For the parents out there — make it a game with your kids to see how many colors you can eat in one day! Starting variety at a young age is so beneficial to developing your child’s gut microbiome and helping them learn that nutrition can actually help their bodies grow and move better! Nutrition actually changes the game. The gut plays a large role in mood regulation, immune function, skin clarity, muscle development, mental stability, and so much more! Your child that struggles to pay attention in class, has random skin rashes, and a tummy ache when they eat may actually just need a shift in their diet! So it’s not just for us adults, kids need variety and color too! Every color offers different nutritional value and helps develop a balanced gut. Plus it’s fun!
