Carrots
Most red, yellow or orange vegetables and fruits are spiked with carotenoids-fat-soluble compounds that are associated with a reduction in a wide range of cancers, as well as reduced risk and severity of inflammatory conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis- but none are as easy to prepare, or have as low a caloric density, as carrots. Aim for 1/2 a cup a day.
