Add Some Good Fats to Those Veggies

Have you heard of carotenoids?  They are the pigments in red, orange, yellow and dark green fruits and vegetables.  They have anti-oxidant properties that have been determined to reduce cancer risk.

Carotenoids are fat soluble, so the next time you enjoy a colorful plate of produce, make sure you drizzle on a little fat (olive oil would be a terrific choice) in order to help your body absorb all those nutrients.
