Tutti Foodie: a ’back to basics’ approach

Wellness is a universal goal pursued by people across the globe. Eating well is part of an effective beauty from within routine that should be complemented by a healthy skin care diet.

By consuming vegetables and fruits from 5 colour families (red, yellow/orange, green, blue/purple and white/brown), we can achieve a good quality of life and a broad range of vitamins, antioxidants and phytochemicals, that help to improve the quality of the skin. Actiphyte™ botanical extracts are a wide variety of natural extracts that incorporated into different topical formulations can bring the benefits of nature directly onto the skin.

Building immunity, extending life and reaching wellness are a universal goal pursued by people across the globe. Diet plays an important role in these goals, and consumers are increasingly looking for natural and healthy products with a positive effect on their body and on the Earth. The phrase “follow the rainbow” of fruits and vegetables is a simple way of remembering to get as much colour variety in our diet as possible. 

The ancient Chinese believed that to get a balanced yin and yang a well-rounded nutrition was needed, including ingredients from five colour families: red, yellow/orange, green, blue/purple and white/brown. These colours are associated with the body’s vital organs but also with the five main elements found in nature (fire, earth, wood, water and metal). Since then, a multi-coloured diet is considered vital not only to reach a balance within oneself but also to stay in harmony with nature.
