Everyday Health #2 – The Colorful Plate Rule

Welcome to the second edition of Everyday Health — your quick daily dose of wellness tips, easy habits, and science-backed insights to help you feel your best.

Today’s Focus

Plates of meat, vegetables, and fruit on a wooden table, with drinks and a pot nearby.
The Colorful Plate Rule

At your next meal, aim to include at least three different colors of fruits or vegetables on your plate.

🥕 This simple habit adds a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to your diet — all of which work together to boost energy, support immunity, and protect long-term health.

Why It Works

Different colors in produce often signal different nutrient profiles — for example, orange carrots are rich in beta carotene for eye health, while purple cabbage contains anthocyanins that fight inflammation. By mixing colors, you maximize your nutrient intake without overthinking it.

📌 Quick Challenge — For one meal today, build your plate with three or more colors of plants. Bonus: share a picture of your rainbow meal to inspire others.
