A little about some of the 7 Wholesome Colors...
RED-colored Foods
The color red is symbolic of grounding – it represents the blood, which serves our being by keeping us infused with the life force of oxygen and nutrients. In addition to the vibration of the color of red, red-colored foods usually contain relatively high levels of vitamin C, a vitamin utilized by several body parts that connect to structure and survival such as the skeleton, gums, skin, and adrenals (“fight-or-flight” response).These foods also contain protective components like the red-colored carotenoid, lycopene, to help defend our body from attack by reactive compounds. Examples of red-colored foods include tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, and cherries.*
ORANGE-colored Foods
The color orange is symbolic of creativity – it represents a juicy force that disperses throughout our being, allowing for our cells to flow with the rhythm of life. In addition to feeding on the vibrant vibration of the color of orange, we can become nourished through orange-colored compounds like carotenoids.*
YELLOW-colored Foods
The color yellow is symbolic of power – it represents the radiance of self-confidence and the fire of endurance. The color feeds our being with a specific vibration, and also reflects the presence of yellow-colored plant compounds like lutein.*
GREEN-colored Foods
The color green is symbolic of healing and expansion – it represents an unfolding of love, service, and gratitude from within, similar to leaves on a tree, green and open to the rays of the sun. The color itself is very nourishing and healing, and is found extensively throughout the plant kingdom.*
