People who took the supplement burned more fat than those who were deficient, according to a treadmill study from Arizona State University in Mesa. Your body needs the vitamin to produce carnitine, a compound in muscles that converts fat into energy.
How To Add Yellow: Add yellow peppers to a stir-fry, or layer them on a turkey sandwich for crunch.

Lose Weight With A Tangy Taste

Pineapple could help you reach for that skinny jeans.

It contains bromelain, an enzyme that helps break food down so that it speeds through your system faster, reducing bloat.
How To Add Yellow: Make a salad of pineapple, red onion, and mint, or grill pineapple rings for a turkey burger topping.

Protect Your Eyesight

Meet Yellow corn on the cob a.k.a. nature’s sunglasses.

It’s packed with the antioxidants zeaxanthin and lutein that work together to block harmful light that can cause damage to your eyes over time.
How To Add Yellow: Add frozen kernels to your favorite gazpacho recipe, or spread a mixture of butter, chopped fresh herbs (try basil and oregano), and a pinch of salt with lemon on corn on the cob.

So, add Yellow to your food, and feel the energy boost and healthier eyesight!
