Carrots

In addition to being delicious and highly versatile, carrots are also a vegetable to be enjoyed when you're not feeling in tip-top shape. And for good reason: carrots are an excellent source of Vitamin A, which stimulates the production of antibodies and white blood cells in the body. If you don't have enough in your system, you may be more prone to certain diseases and viruses . Vitamin A also plays a role in strengthening the tissues of the intestine and lungs, making it a very powerful tool to fight against respiratory illnesses. Other foods rich in Vitamin A include: salmon, goat cheese, butter, sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, spinach, broccoli, mango and for all you sweet tooths out there—pumpkin pie.
