Did you know that food has its own colour code?
It’s one of the reasons the phrase “food is medicine” holds such truth. Deep down, you already know this. If I said the colour red, your mind might immediately think of blood, right?
That’s because colour and biology are deeply connected and nature figured it out long before science did.
Each colour in the natural food spectrum carries its own unique nutritional and energetic signature.
Red: Supports the heart and circulatory system.
Green: Rich in minerals, promotes detoxification, and enhances nutrient absorption.
Blue: Found in foods like blue green algae and blueberries, offering powerful antioxidant protection.
Orange: Fuels vitality and energy.
Purple: Associated with longevity and anti aging properties.
Here’s how that translates into everyday foods.
Red foods like tomatoes and strawberries are rich in lycopene and anthocyanins, known to support heart health and help protect against cancer.
Orange foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes contain beta carotene, essential for strong immunity and healthy vision.
Yellow foods like yellow peppers and corn provide lutein and zeaxanthin, compounds that nourish and protect the eyes.
Green foods such as spinach, kale, and other chlorophyll rich greens detoxify the body and restore natural energy levels.
Blue and purple foods like blueberries and aubergines are loaded with anthocyanins, offering anti inflammatory and antioxidant effects that promote longevity.
Nature doesn’t just provide food for fuel, it provides colour coded medicine for every system’s of the body.
