Salad on Steroids
Topping spinach salad with half a cup of sliced avocado helps you absorb 14 times more beta carotene from the greens. Lycopene and beta carotene are fat-soluble carotenoids — meaning they need to piggyback with fat to be absorbed in your small intestine. Avocado, olive oil, pine nuts . . . any source of healthful fat will do the trick. What do you get in return? Healthier eyes, a stronger cardiovascular system, and possibly even protection from certain types of cancer.
