Each color of fruit and vegetable brings different benefits, so including a wide range ensures that our bodies receive all the essential nutrients needed to function properly.
Expert Insights
Authors like Tim Spector emphasize the importance of eating a full variety of fruits and vegetables. The microbes in our guts thrive on this diversity, which helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome.
