    The document discusses the importance of eating a variety of colored fruits and vegetables, also known as "eating the rainbow". It recommends including at least five different colors on your plate at each meal for optimal nutrition. Each color provides unique health benefits, for example reds contain lycopene which is heart healthy, greens contain carotenoids which protect against cancer, and oranges contain beta-carotene for eye and skin health. Tracking the colors eaten can help children learn about nutrition in a fun way through an activity of placing stickers on a chart for each meal with five colors.
