The Zambian Flag diet

The Zambian Flag is coloured Black, Green, Orange and Yellow, with the large area of the flag being Green. Am not so partriotic but truth is my flag is a wonderful combination when applied to a diet program or to any healthy diet for all ages. When we check our fast food diet or our usual food at home will find that we eat red, white and green, all the time. This combination is become does not have sufficient nutrients, it just becomes inadequate and eventually, useless. But a variable combination of coloured food brings in different, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and whatever else is good in food.
Examples of Local and easily accessible foods that we should incorporate into the diet or meals everyday are as follows:

"RED: Tomatoes get their red colour from lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease. Lycopene is also found in watermelon."Red meat is one of the best sources of iron and zinc is well adsorbed by the body. It is a source of omega-3 and a good source of vitamin B and protein.
GREEN: The green comes from chlorophyll, which researchers suspect becomes a powerful cancer-fighting agent when it's broken down by digestion. All the greens are rich in vitamins, minerals and a variety of disease-fighting plant chemicals. When you pick your greens, the darker the better. ORANGE/YELLOW: Orange foods are sources of alpha and beta-carotene associated with cancer prevention. Sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, apricots, mangoes, yellow pepper, pawpaw, peaches and pineapples.
BLACK: Black lentils/Beans.This food is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Protein, Iron, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Folate and Manganese. 
if you can find black use BLUE/PURPLE: Blue pigment created by anthocyanins ranges from the deep blue/purple in foods such as grapes and eggplant, Eggplant can be grilled, roasted or baked, added to sandwiches or used in soups.

I will soon make recipes with the Zambian flag combo to prove that all these foods are workable and i will suggest cheap sources so that cost does not become a constraint to good health.
Good Luck.
