Carrots to prevent flu

The yellow color in carrots is actually antioxidant pigment, which is rich in beta-carotene. After beta-carotene is absorbed into vitamin A in our body, this vitamin becomes essential to maintain the body’s immune cells.

Beta-carotene in carrots will be absorbed well if it’s eaten with oil. Slice carrots into small pieces, and mix it with oil. It can be made as compliments to fried rice or even a side dish on its own.
