Explanation:

All the colons used in the passage are not required.  The grammatical rule is that a colon comes before an explanation or a list.  By the way, a colon is a punctuation mark.  For example, one can write thus: "Nutritious Diets before Examinations:" This will then be followed by the list of nutritious diets, with examples to buttress the point.  I even used one to list the example I am giving.
