Bamboo was considered a powerful healing tool in ancient China, Japan and Indonesia. Bamboo still symbolizes life, energy, prosperity, longevity and fertility in these cultures, and today it’s making an impressive comeback as a massage tool across the world.

Have you ever heard about eating a rainbow? And no, we don’t mean a bag of Skittles! Our bodies benefit from variety, which is why it’s important for our health to eat a rainbow of nutrients and colours. So eating a range of colourful foods can be an easy way to get the vitamins and minerals your body needs to thrive. Here is why you need each colour:

– RED, such as tomatoes, strawberries & watermelon help fight cancer, reduce heart disease, and improve skin quality

– ORANGE & YELLOW, such as oranges, carrots & sweet potato improve immunity and eye health

– GREEN, such as broccoli, kale & avocado boost immunity and detoxify the body

– BLUE & PURPLE, such as blueberries, aubergines & plums are antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and good for memory

– WHITE, such as garlic, cauliflower & mushrooms improve immunity, keep bones strong, and are heart-healthy
