Introduction of Eat The Rainbow

Eat fresh vegetables with every meal. For the next two weeks, I challenge you to eat fresh vegetables with every

meal.

By eating a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, you’ll get a ton of micronutrients, also known as vitamins and minerals.

These are potent, indispensable compounds that make your body work properly. They boost our health and vitality while promoting growth, reproduction and energy.

Just as ‘macro’ was given to the term to suggest the majority, ‘micro’ is given to this set of nutrients to suggest a much lower quantity.

The more handfuls of spinach, sides of carrots or pieces of fruit you eat daily, the more effectively you are improving your body. By simply eating fresh fruit and vegetables, you get heaps of calcium for your bones, iron for your blood and vitamin C for your immune system.

You do this by adding nutrient-dense leafy greens, seasonal vegetables, fruit and berries to your plate at every meal. It will make you feel sharper, stronger and more capable than ever.

How can I personalise this habit?

Choose which sources of fruit and vegetables you would like to eat, and in what quantities. If you never have fruit or vegetables with meals, then start with a small portion of each meal. If you’re used to eating a lot of fruit and veg, then focus on increasing your consistency to eating the recommended portion sizes each meal.

How can I make this habit easy?

The first step is to scale the habit to something you are 90-100% confident you can do for 6 days of the week. Have one day off per week from completing the habit.

What can I piggyback off of?

It’s likely the existing trigger to eat something will be the cue for this habit. It could also be linked to meal preparation if you like to bulk cook for days ahead. Just pick a pre-existing habit to use as your reminder.
