Carrot

- 210% of the average daily recommended amount of vitamin A. Vitamin A is a key vitamin for healthy eye sight. - Antioxidants in carrots (beta-carotene) may play a role in cancer prevention. Other constituents in carrots stimulate cancer fighting systems in the body. - Carrots can help protect your liver from toxic environmental chemicals. Tip: Avoid baby carrots - they are soaked in chlorine to prolong shelf life.

Ginger

- Ginger has many antioxidants, antibacterial and antiviral properties. - Ginger has been found to help with stomach aches/cramps, vomiting, migraines and muscle and joint pain. - Ginger is one of the best herbs to have if you struggle with indigestion, and it does more than just relieving the pain.

Tip: Try ginger tea if you experience indigestion or stomach pains.

Tumeric

- Curcumin is the main ingredient in Tumeric. It has many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. - Curcumin is so strong of an antioxidant that it is actually stronger than most anti-inflammatory medications. - Conuming Tumeric can lower your risk of heart disease and brain disease.

Tip: My mom used Tumeric externally as relief from the side effect of chemotherapy. This is the only thing that took the side effects away.
