Eat a Brainbow for More Joy
You’ve heard about eating a rainbow - you eat fruits and vegetables from each color of the rainbow to get a variety of important vitamins and nutrients.
These essential nutrients can help prevent illness and disease. For example, when you eat red foods you help your heart, orange helps prevent cancer and yellow helps your skin. Green detoxifies, purple improves memory and white supports immunity. Each color does more than that but this gives you an example.
But eating a diet rich in colorful foods, spices and herbs also helps fight inflammation. And research strongly suggests that inflammation is an underlying cause of depression.
Brainbow foods, like those listed below, contain the variety of nutrients which help quench inflammatory fires and sooth our neurons so they can perform peacefully. All of this helps us combat depression and find our joy.
