Watermelon Feta Salad

Light & Refreshing

 

Why is watermelon such a natural powerhouse?

Vitamin C!

And beta-carotene, which is made by the body into Vitamin A.

Vitamin A is essential for eyesight. The aldehyde form of Vitamin A is called "retinal". Retina...retinal...get it? Vitamin A also keeps our cells moist and resistant to damage in its use as an antioxidant. Remember that helps ward off cancer. It slows down cancer growth and may keep leukemia cells from dividing. It also keeps all of our cells healthy from disease and infection by protecting the tissue that makes up the outer layer of our nose, skin, eyes, throat, digestive and urinary tracts. Wanna stay healthy this winter? Eat your watermelon! (And other fruits and vegetables high in Vitamin A)

Good sources: Turkey! Beef liver, skim milk, eggs, carrots, leafy greens like spinach and kale, pumpkin, cantaloupe, peach, red bell pepper
