CARROTS: They're rich in beta-carotene, a compound your body changes into vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes healthy. And beta-carotene helps protect your eyes from the sun and lowers your chances of cataracts and other eye problems.

COCONUT WATER: Low in calories, naturally free of fat and cholesterol, more potassium than four bananas, and super hydrating.

ORANGES: Oranges are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin C, thiamine, folate, and potassium.

TURMERIC + Black Pepper: Turmeric and black pepper each have health benefits, due to the compounds curcumin and piperine. As piperine enhances curcumin absorption in the body by up to 2,000%, combining the spices magnifies their effects. They may reduce inflammation and improve digestion, particularly in supplement form.

GINGER: It’s full of antioxidants that help protect your cells from damage and prevent disease.
