“Eat the rainbow ”- good reasons to vary what you eat:
1. Give your body more nutrients – you miss out on different nutrients when you eat the same things every day.
2. Lower your mortality risk – nutritious variety is at least as important as limiting unhealthy foods.
3. Reduce your risk of metabolic syndrome.
4. Lose weight – a varied diet increases the diversity of good bacteria in your gut which leads to better overall health & aids with weight loss.
