Yellow for Your Immune System
By Carolin
Welcome back!
That oranges are good for our immune system comes as no surprise. But it is not only the vitamin C that helps your immune system.
The yellow pigment, yellow carotenoids, is a great antioxidant.
Free radicals damage immune cells and the antidote to free radicals is the antioxidants.
Yellow carotenoids can be found in oranges, mandarins, peaches, mangoes and apricots.
