You are what you eat. Or as we say in colour speak, the colour of your food affects your mood, so choose food that corresponds with the energy you think you would need during the day.

Food contains essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are needed to keep our bodies healthy
In addition, the colour of the food adds to our overall wellbeing. In other words, the colour energy of the food that we eat resonates with the emotional, mental or spiritual energy that we need.

Red, orange and yellow foods in the morning will increase your energy levels and activate your intellectual abilities. What looks and tastes better than a colourful bowl of fruit salad – strawberries, orange, mangos, watermelon – first thing in the morning? Notice how happy it makes you feel just thinking about it.

After a hard day’s work you want to relax. Green food will soothe and calm you. Blue food like milk assists with insomnia and calms the mind.

So what colour do you need to eat?
If you need more passion and motivation, eat red food. Cherries, red apples, strawberries and tomatoes are regarded as red food. Not grounded (a red challenge)? ... Eat brown rice, lentils or potatoes.

Orange food will balance your emotions
Oranges, pumpkin, peaches and grains will also stimulate your intellect.

For positive thoughts and for added concentration eat yellow food like bananas, yellow peppers, bread and cheese.

To lower your blood pressure and balance your emotions...
Green grapes, spinach, celery, avocados and apples will do the trick.

And then there is always an exception to the rule: These are not really blue foods in nature, but milk, fish and honey are considered blue and will calm the mind, relieve pain and help with throat infections.

Plums, aubergines, beetroot and black grapes help with intuition and relaxation, and are considered indigo foods.

Violet foods give stamina and promotes a sense of peace. Try broccoli, olives and currants.

Use colour in your daily diet to activate, stimulate or relax your energies !
