Move over, antiaging creams: Beta-carotene—which needs fat for absorption and is turned into vitamin A in your body—helps give your skin a youthful glow.
Vitamin A also plays a vital role in a healthy immune and reproductive system. But it needs the good fat to help your body absorb it.
Good Sources of Beta-Carotene:
Carrots, apricots, cantaloupe, sweet potato, papaya, kale, spinach
Good Sources of Fat:
Nuts—any kind, including walnuts, almonds, peanuts; oils including olive, almond, canola, flaxseed, toasted sesame, avocado
Combo Ideas • Oven-roasted sweet potato fries made with olive or canola oil
• Carrots dipped in guacamole or hummus (made with sesame-based tahini and/or olive oil)
• Trail mix made with dried apricots, dried papaya, almonds and walnuts
