Week 3: Fruits & Vegetables — Eat the Rainbow to Fuel Your Health

Welcome back to Vital Wellness Weekly and Week 3 of our 6-week nutrition series.

So far, we’ve covered what makes a healthy diet actually work and highlighted the power of protein as the foundation for strength, recovery, and overall function.

This week, we’re diving into something that often gets overlooked: fruits and vegetables.

They aren’t just colorful sides on your plate—they’re essential tools for boosting energy, supporting gut health, reducing inflammation, and protecting against long-term disease.

Here’s something to think about:
Why can humans see color?
One fascinating theory is that it helped us spot nutrient-rich foods in nature—especially plants. Bright colors often meant survival.

That still holds true today.

Fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber that help you feel your best and function at your best.
From glowing skin and better digestion to more energy and fewer illnesses—adding more color to your plate means adding more life to your days.

The best part? It’s simple.
You don’t need a perfect diet—you need progress. And this week is all about giving you the tools to do just that.

Let’s dive in.
