Beta-Carotenes
Benefits:
Beta-carotene is a type of carotenoid found in many fruits and vegetables.
It’s a vitamin-like substance that is not required for survival but which may have disease prevention powers.
The body turns it into vitamin A. Eating 4 or 5 servings of fruit per day makes your real age as much as 4 years younger.
Good Sources:
Good sources are fruits, such as apricots, peaches, and mangoes, dried plums (also called prunes), cantaloupe, and nectarines.
