Carrots...snack on them!

Today's Tip:

  KEEP YOUR EYES ON CARROTS

Can a carrot a day keep the doctor away? The eye doctor, quite
possibly. Among many other health benefits, carrots are good for your
eyes. Carrots are a rich source of beta-carotene. When converted to
vitamin A in the body, this nutrient helps to maintain proper vision,
especially in low light. This includes adjusting to night vision, too.
Along with carrots, other rich food sources of beta-carotene include
dark red, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables, such as sweet
potatoes, pumpkin, red bell pepper and mango.
