Feel good about digging into pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving! Orange-colored fruits and vegetables, including pumpkin, are an excellent source of beta-carotene. In our bodies, beta-carotene is either converted to vitamin A or into an antioxidant. Vitamin A helps support a healthy immune system and healthy vision. As an antioxidant, it will neutralize damaging free radicals. So, it’s a win-win!
