Choose one fruit or vege from each colour every day for the best all-round health benefits
	Red fruits and vegetables contain lycopene and anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that can reduce the risk of cancer, control blood pressure and keep our heart healthy.
Beta carotene give this group their vibrant colour. When it enters the blood stream, beta carotene is converted to vitamin A and helps protect the body against cancer.
	Yellow fruits and vegetables are teeming with antioxidants and vitamin C. Studies suggest these foods promote healthy skin, wound healing, and stronger bones and teeth.
Leafy greens, such as kale, are an excellent source of folate, a B group vitamin that is a key nutrient in human health. Studies show folate benefits the brain by slowing down the effects of ageing.
	Blue and purple foods are health heroes. Plums, eggplant, blueberries and purple grapes: all of these contain flavonoids that improve heart health, vision and brain power.
