The Significance of Colours in Consumption and Health

Journal Title: Black Sea Journal of Agriculture - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3

Abstract

While the world is trying to provide food for the increasing population, people are also in search of alternative nutrition in order to be protected from the diseases threatening human life. Nowadays, recommendations of nutrition with horticultural crops, especially fruits and vegetables, are made as an alternative way of treatment for the diseases threatening human life. In recent years, sometimes a fruit or vegetable comes to the fore like the trend of the year or consumptions based on colours or content are recommended. People need approximately 70 nutritional elements to lead a healthy life. It can be stated that fruits-vegetables started to be perceived as medicine due to the consumptions based on colours and content. Every agricultural crop contains several nutritional elements at different levels that are necessary for human life. Instead of thinking about the content of crops, it is more beneficial to set a diet with different crops for leading a healthy life. This is called eat the rainbow. It is also true that colours affect human psychology and eagerness to buy as well as consumption. Instead of consumptions that are perceived as trend recently, it is more appropriate to know that variety in consumption leads to healthier nutrition. Besides, it is more appropriate to consider agricultural crops as crops that should be consumed regularly to protect health rather than as medicine for treatment after diseases occur.
