DailyColors™ is based on four facts – and one break-through.
1.
The Mediterranean Diet is acknowledged as one of the – if not the – healthiest diet. One that supports strong immune function and produces well above average numbers of people who stay healthy well into their eighties, nineties or even hundreds.
2.
While a generally less stressed lifestyle, and plenty of vitamin D from sunshine are factors, the variety and quantity of plants eaten is undoubtedly a major factor in the reduced rates of age-related illness and exceptional longevity.
3.
The health benefits of fruits, vegetables and herbs flow not only from their vitamins and minerals and fibre – but from phyto-(plant) nutrients - and specifically those the create the vibrant colours in plant foods.
Phyto-nutrients - like vitamins – constitute as little as 1 part in 1,000 of plant weight – but pack a huge health punch.
4.
- Research over the last decade or so has revealed the importance of enzymes in health. Some of these enzymes need to be inhibited or blocked to prevent unwanted outcomes.
For example, there are lifesaving antibiotics and blood pressure medications that are enzyme inhibitors.
The Breakthrough
But the above examples of enzyme inhibitors are drugs.
The breakthrough was to identify 16 fruits, vegetables and herbs that most typified the Mediterranean Diet.
Then to find the best, synergistic, combination of color phyto-nutrients in them.
A combination that created an all-natural inhibitor on multiple enzymes that otherwise lead to aging.
Finally, to pack these more than 150 Phyto-nutrients into a supplement. That’s why DailyColors™ is classified as a nutraceutical.
