Research a few years ago suggested that eating more foods high in carotenoids may help to prevent excess fat storage, especially in the area of the belly or midsection. It is well known in the medical community that leaner people have higher blood levels of carotenoids.
The Nurses' Health Study a few years ago that followed more than 1,000 women and men for over 35 years found those who ate a diet high in carotenoids lowered their risk of advanced macular degeneration by 25 to 35 percent.
Looking for foods high in carotenoids? Go orange such as orange bell peppers, carrots, acorn squash, and other brightly colored veggies and fruits.
