Orange Vegetables
Carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and other orange-colored vegetables are rich in carotenoids. These protective antioxidants can prevent free radicals from damaging cells and the DNA inside of cells, either of which can lead to cancerous growth. They also stimulate the production of white blood cells called Natural Killer Cells that have the ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells. The antioxidant effect of carotenoids also protects against heart disease by preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.
