Hold your diet to a royal standard. Alpha-carotene from veggies is linked to longer life.

Living happily ever after isn't just reserved for the royal family. Help ensure your chances of living a long and healthy life by eating dark green and orange veggies. They are brimming with alpha-carotene, an antioxidant linked to a lower risk of dying from heart disease and cancer. Carotenoids ward off DNA damage that accelerate aging and can lead to chronic disease.
Alpha-carotene is particularly adept at fending off growth of cancer cells in the brain, liver and skin. Plus, they’re not usually in supplements, so the only way to get them is through veggies! Best sources are pumpkin, carrots, and winter squash, and in smaller amounts from V-8 juice, pea soup, and dark greens.
