Ways To Boost Your Antioxidants - Carotenoids! 

Carotenoids are phytonutrients that provide plants bright yellow, red, and orange pigments. They can be found in leafy greens and herbs. Think about alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lutein, and lycopene.

Why even care about these bright and vibrant phytonutrients?
They help maintain vision (especially night), improve cardiovascular and skin health, support the immune system, and can (potentially) prevent the formation of tumors.

What are examples? 
Our red, orange and yellow friends include apricots, carrots, cantaloupe, mangoes, peppers, papaya, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and even squash.
