Carotenoids are the powerful phytochemical in orange foods, and
they are what give the foods their color. Carotenoids repair DNA and help
prevent cancer and heart disease, as well as strengthening our vision.
These orange foods also give us the right amount
of potassium and vitamin A, which keeps our eyes and skin healthy, and protects
against infections. They are also known to boost the immune system because of
the vitamin C content in many of them.
