hi guys it’s me again in this video

we’re going to talk about carotenoids

okay

carotenoids are a special type of

phytonutrient basically they’re an

antioxidant that comes in different

colors yellow orange and reds in the

fall you see these beautiful colors

right well those are carotenoids so in

the fall you lose the chlorophyll and

the carotenoid colors start showing up

so there’s two main roles in plants that

the carotenoids have number one to help

absorb light involved in the

photosynthesis process where they’re

converting light into energy and to

protect chlorophyll from photo damage so

the benefits that we get are number one

it’s a pre vitamin A which helps the eye

and the immune system and the skin it’s

also really good for the retina in fact

carotenoids help filter 90% of the blue

light which is really harmful to our

eyes so it’s a it’s a powerful

antioxidant type of function so it helps

support the brain and it’s very neural

protective against all the nerves in the

body has anti-cancer properties and it’s

a fat soluble compound and this is why

when you have your salad leafy green

salad you need to add a little bit of

olive oil or some other fats in there

it’ll help absorb it also when you have

a Cal shake add some coconut oil to it

maybe just a half a teaspoon to start

really absorbing these fat soluble final

nutrients so you get the carotenoids and

the leafy greens the spinach the salads

the carrot tomato pumpkin the kale right

here okay the pepper dairy fat like in

butter egg yolk krill fish algae that’s

where you get it there’s over 750

different carotenoids and they are the

phytonutrients that go way beyond just

vitamins and minerals thanks for
