By eating variety, one is less likely to be deficient in essential nutrients because again you are eating all the different fruits, vegetables, spices and herbs. We apply rainbow concept to fruits vegetables, proteins, spices, grains, herbs, etc. Here are few examples, vegetables include root, round, leafy and green vegetables that are all different colours, and they are abundant in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, bioflavonoids and phytochemicals.

Complex carbohydrates are whole-wheat grains, millet, brown rice, barley, oats, quinoa, buckwheat and others. They are all absorbed slowly by the body, thus keeping glucose and insulin low and provide long-lasting energy. Their mechanism of absorption gives a unique ability to prevent the steep decline in blood sugar levels that gives rise to hypoglycaemia and its characteristics symptoms, such as fatigue, mood swings, and food cravings. When you are in a balanced state, you more likely to make choices that sustain balance. In addition, this is what Rainbow Diet is all about creating long gentle rises and falls in blood sugar.
