The Thanksgiving Miracle Molecule

Need a rule to follow? 

Eat orange foods, live a long life. WHY, you ask? 

According to this massive 14-year study researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), having more  of the carotenoid alpha-carotene may reduce the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and all other causes by up to 39 percent. 

That’s Huge!! 

(Please share this article with your friends.)

This article is pubbed in the Archives of Internal Medicine and, according to the lead author Dr Chaoyang Li, “In this prospective study … we found that serum alpha-carotene concentrations were inversely associated with risk of death from all causes, CVD, cancer, and all causes other than CVD and cancer.” 

Inversely associated … that means, they are like buckets in a well. The higher one goes up, the lower the other goes down. The more of the carotenoids you have on board, the less your likelihood of “risk of death from all causes.” 

This is a very handy molecule to have!! And where do you get this Thanksgiving miracle molecule? Alpha-carotene can be found in concentrated amounts in a variety of foods including sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, kale, spinach, turnip greens, winter squash, collard greens, cilantro, fresh thyme, cantaloupe. 

So. Start a new Thanksgiving tradition that will last the entire year. Eat sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, and squash.
