What they contain: 
These are packed with the antioxidant Beta-cryptoxanthin and betacarotene, which our bodies transforms into Vitamin A.

Why you should eat more: 
Betacarotene protects your eyesight, helps your skin and can lower the risk of getting cancer. Beta-cryptoxanthin can help maintain the respiratory tract and ease inflammation caused by arthritis.These nutrients aid in the prevention of infections by supporting an important part of the immune system: our mucous membranes.

Examples of orange foods include carrots, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes,peaches, mangoes, peppers, pumpkin and oranges.


Try: Swapping your Sunday desserts for sweet potatoes, and steaming your carrots to unlock those nutrients.
