Orange foods contain beta carotene, also called previtamin A. Other nutrients in orange food are folate, potassium, calcium, thiamine, and vitamin C.

Our bodies convert beta carotene into vitamin A. Beta carotene is supporting good eye vision and eye health. Vitamin A ensures the health of our skin. Carrots contain a lot of beta carotene.

Vitamin C is much needed to build a healthy natural immune system and oranges contain loads of Vitamin C. With a pandemic going on, for me, it’s a reason to consider oranges the second one of the 3 best orange foods.

Eating a rainbow of food is healthy. To always eat the same food is not good. Every day, we try to balance the composition of the colors of what we eat.

This may sound a little bit strange, but we do this because different fruits and vegetables have different qualities. Mixing the colors helps you to optimize the balance of all the different nutrients, vitamins, and minerals you need.

Each nutrient in fruits and vegetables has its significant impact on our health. This is even more significant when we encounter minor health problems. Get as much color variety in your diet as you can. Eating a rainbow of food will do a lot of good.
