FLOW IN THE GLOW

Time for Exercise: 15 minutes

Properties Required: none

Steps:

1.    Take turns describing for your lover a peak experience that you have had: an experience of feeling connected to everything, an experience of superb confidence and mastery, an experience of profound synchronicity, a magical experience, or an experience of unconditional love given or received.

2.    In your description include various details:
Where were you?

When did it happen?
What you were doing at the time?
What were your sensory perceptions during the experience?
What insights did the experience give you?

Onions and Shallots

Sow seed of salad and bulb type over wintering onions to mature next spring.

Over wintering onion sets should be planted in late September.

Onions and shallots should be lifted as soon as foliage has started to die back. Succumbing to temptation and bending over the tops by hand can reduce their storage time. If the weather is dry allow them to dry on the soil face, alternatively dry them in a well ventilated shed.

Whichever method you use store them in a moisture free place and check over at frequent intervals to check for any rot which may spread to other stored onions. Thick necked onions should be used rather than stored as they may be more prone to rot.

Cabbage

If you sowed Spring Cabbages in August they are probably ready to plant out. Pigeons can devastate a crop in no time so it is best to take the precaution of covering them with horticultural fleece or netting.

Sweetcorn

As Sweetcorn becomes ripe harvest it, as if you need any encouragement. Push a fingernail into the kernel when the tassels at the end of the cob start to shrivel and brown, if the liquid looks milky they are ready.

Green Manures

Sow green manures, such as mustard and Italian ryegrass which will prevent autumn weeds establishing. When dug in during winter and spring this will also act as a soil improver.

This is certainly a very different kind of Email Marketing Tips

Normally I get a lot of submissions from other people, but not this time. I had to surf the Web and find related articles myself. Not really what a blogcarnival is supposed to be.

Howver I got some great tips:

• How To Increase Your Opt-in Rate by experienced marketer Ryan Deiss.
• How to save on your AWeber subscription.
• And finally blogger Chris Garrett has started a great series of Blog posts Email Marketing for bloggers.

Note: I got a lot some submissions about MLM. Not really on-topic, are they? Anyway, I felt I have to do something about it, and added a great rant from legendary Gary Halbert about How stupid MLM is. That’s quite an excellent read and a great education at the same time.

Reading about or watching my gardening heroes inspired me to plant my garden in a way that would attract beneficial insect and help to achieve a natural balance. A garden buzzing with insect life comes alive instead of being a very sterile place.

My Pokers are flowering well again this year, they fit in well with my planting scheme, are neat and hold up well.

The berries around the garden are colouring quickly now, red, apricot, black, white and purple. We are taking bets on which ones the birds will take first this year. Last year to our surprise the apricot were stripped before the red.

I have taken the opportunity the last couple of weeks to visit a few large gardens. We can feel jealous at the sight of all that land and the variety of planting but it is easy to forget that these gardens have their problems just as we do. One garden had every beautifully planted border surrounded by small fences of chicken netting. As we progressed around the property the reason was clear, rabbits were everywhere. Cute as they are they can devastate a garden overnight.

Lowering cholesterol naturally is a simple matter of addition and subtraction. You simply add foods to your diet that are shown to bring cholesterol levels down, and subtract the foods that are causing you a problem. That does not mean eliminating foods that are high in cholesterol. Surprisingly, high cholesterol foods are not nearly as bad for your levels as foods loaded with saturated fats. These are the ones that should be reduced or eliminated all together.

The key is to start before you have a problem. And the only way to find out is by getting tested. Most people that have high cholesterol levels don’t even know it.

HARMONY BREATH

Time for Exercise: five to 10 minutes

Properties Required: none

Steps:

1. Sit comfortably facing each other.
2. Look into each other’s eyes.
3. Inhale and exhale slowly and deeply together, in rhythm.
4. The man leads the rhythm for 12 full breaths as the woman follows by matching her breathing to his.
5. Switch. The woman leads for 12 full breaths as the man follows by matching his breathing to hers.

Variations:

• Circular Breathing: As the man inhales, the woman exhales. Follow this circular rhythm for another 12 slow, deep breaths. Switch again. The woman sets the rhythm, inhaling while the man exhales for 12 breaths.
• Match your breathing rhythms when you are slow dancing (see Yin Yang Yes! p. 174).

Comments:

Do not speak during these exercises. Just be present in the moment. There is nothing to do, nowhere to get to, nothing to explain.

These breathing techniques are excellent ways to begin lovemaking. They effectively stop the world, helping you let go of the demands of your busy lives and become grounded in the present moment together. At peaks of sexual arousal, gazing into each other’s eyes and breathing in unison takes your connection out of this world (see Yab-yum Yum). Breathing in harmony is also an excellent way to bridge from arguing to making up.

POINTS OF CANDLELIGHT

Dimming the lights, or turning them off and lighting candles instead, is one of the easiest ways to add romantic ambiance to your lovemaking experience or to change an ordinary dinner into something very sensual. Candles are also one of the most useful aids for creating your own romantic rituals and celebrations. Points of candlelight is a simple, utterly romantic ritual you can use to help elevate your relationship to a spiritual practice and to send healing energy to those you love and care about.

Time for Exercise: 10 minutes

Properties Required:
Three candles, one larger and two smaller. The larger candle can be any size from a regular ten- or twelve-inch (25–30 cm) taper candle to one that is several inches (7.5 cm) in diameter. The other two candles should be smaller, e.g., if you use a twelve-inch (30 cm) taper for the larger size, use two six-inch (15 cm) candles for the two smaller ones.

A beautiful piece of cloth—you can find lovely cloth remnants at fabric stores for just a few dollars.
Steps:

 

1. Select and prepare a special location for placement of your candles, such as a small table, a wide windowsill, or the floor in front of a wood stove or fireplace. Set the space with a beautiful piece of cloth. Place the candles on the cloth.

2. Stand, sit, or kneel in front of your candle arrangement.

3. Light the larger candle. This candle symbolizes the source of all life, light, and love. This candle represents God, Goddess, Cosmic Consciousness, and The Divine.

4. One at a time, light the smaller candles from the larger one. As you pick up your candle and light it from the source, say something such as the following: “This is my light, this is my life. I thank God this day for the gift of living. I thank you, my love, for sharing this life with me, for being at my side to share together our joys and triumphs, our sorrows and pains. Before God as my witness, I pledge my love to you as we grow old together.” You might say anything romantic and wonderful that you feel truly expresses your love, devotion, and adoration for each other. You can both say the same words or something completely different.

5. The first person sets his candle down as the other one lights her candle and says her loving, sexy words.

Variations:

• Add any number of candles (points of light). As you light each one, you can remember your loved ones, someone who has died or is living far away from you, or someone you want to send healing life force to assist.
• Light candles for your enemies with the intention of healing the separation between you.
• One person alone can easily do these variations.

Comments:

To avoid damaging your lovely cloth with dripping wax, you can put sand in an open container, for example a shirt gift-wrapping box with the top removed. You can decorate the box so that it looks beautiful with colored tape and ribbon or paints. Place the box on your cloth and place the candles in the box. If the weather is suitable, consider moving this activity outdoors.

the guitar. Really there is nothing to be worried about.  If your promote

music in a child’s life, you are bringing more than simple joy, you are also

providing a great outlet for their feelings of expression.  Instead of them

you must be sure to include them in your search for their new instrument.  It

guitar for your child.  This is imperitive as if it is difficult for your

child to play, the probability of them sticking with it are poor at best.  You

need to provide them with a comfortable size for them to learn and really see

BETTER THAN I COULD IMAGINE

Time for Exercise: five to 15 minutes

Properties Required: none

Steps:

Have a conversation in which you help each other recall examples of synchronous events or meaningful coincidences in your life. In particular, identify the good things that both happened to you and in which you also actively participated. Scenarios of such events could unfold something like this:

• You were trying to accomplish something.
• Things didn’t go as you planned and you experienced what seemed like setback, defeat, or failure.
• Right around the corner, something came along that was even better than you could have imagined or have planned for. You received help from outside yourself, out of the mystery, from God or Goddess.

Here is an important example from Al and Pala’s lives.

By the mid-1990s, when the college where Al had been an economics professor for 23 years offered an early retirement package, he was also involved in what seemed to be a lucrative multi-level-marketing business. He accepted the buy-out and left the security of his college position.

For several years Pala, an economic development officer, had been toying with the idea of finding a more satisfying career but had taken no action. At the same time Al left teaching, Pala lost her job during a hostile take-over, and they began working the MLM business together. It failed miserably. The only successful aspect was a website they developed to sell the products online.

Theirs was one of the first small business entrepreneur websites on the Internet, and so they decided to offer Internet training to other small business owners. Although Al and Pala paid thousands of dollars to reserve workshop facilities they had no registrations. To avoid complete catastrophe, they chose, at the last minute, to offer relationship and sexuality training instead.

Despite having only a few paying customers, as soon as they did the workshop day dedicated to sacred sexuality they knew it was their calling—this was it. Sacred sex had been Pala and Al’s private hobby for years. It was their passion and their greatest source of joy, but they never imagined they could earn a living through it. They now teach and write about sacred sexuality and relationships full time. They discovered how they could follow their bliss and earn a living doing it, and it all came out of what seemed to be a series of failures.

Variation:

Keep a record of these important happenings in your lives. Refer back to them over the years. Is there a pattern in your series of synchronous events?

Comments:

Sometimes a sequence of events unfolds (one event leading to the next, or one happening making the next one possible) but not in any recognizable cause/effect relationship. Many people believe that synchronicity is just luck or chance. Synchronicity is actually a spiritual process in which our consciousness manifests results according to how we direct our attention and intention, and how we act to support our choices.

Both positive and negative stepping stones can lead to a happy final result. In other words, there can be value in having bad things happen to you. Many times, what seems like failure or defeat is really necessary to prevent you from going further down the wrong road. Some doors have to close so that others can open.

FLOATING ON CLOUDS

This simple meditation brings tranquility, healing, and balance as you direct golden energy through the channels of your body, from your head to your feet and back again.

Time for Exercise: five to 10 minutes

Properties Required: none
Steps:

1. Sit comfortably with closed eyes, straight back, and relaxed body. Touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue. Leave it in this position throughout the exercise. Breathe slowly and deeply through your nose.

2. Picture yourself floating on a soft white cloud. Slowly the cloud lifts you into the welcoming blue sky. You feel lighter than air as you float higher and higher, cradled in the cloud’s soft, fluffy arms. Directly above you a glowing sun appears. Its light shimmers down to you in cascades of molten gold, like a waterfall of liquid light.

3. You can hear the sound of sweetly flowing water as the golden light spills over the top of your head, down to your eyes, your nose, your mouth, your chin. Down your throat, your chest, and your solar plexus it flows, bringing warmth and vitality to each cell as it passes.

4. As the golden stream reaches your belly chakra, about one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) below your navel, it splits into two bright currents of light which flow simultaneously out to your hips and down the outside of your legs to your feet. Slowly the molten streams move up the insides of your legs, stroking your knees, and brushing your inner thighs. At your genitals the streams swirl about in delicious golden eddies, then join again to bathe your tailbone in a river of gold. The golden current continues up the center of your spine to the middle of your back between your shoulder blades.

5. Here the flow of light splits again in two, flows out and down the outside of your arms to your hands. Up the inside of your arms, back to your spine between your shoulder blades, the golden streams meet again as one. On up to your shoulders, your neck and the base of your skull, and finally back up to the top of your head it rushes, a liquid lava that bathes your brain and skull in glorious light.

6. Repeat this cycle three, six, or nine times. When you have finished your cycles, sit in stillness for a couple of minutes. Focus on your body. What do you notice?

BIORHYTHMS

Being familiar with your biorhythms can help you make effective decisions.

Time for Exercise: two minutes daily

Properties Required: pen and paper

Steps:

Chart your biorhythms by using a scale that goes from minus five to plus five, where minus one is mildly negative to minus five a vicious bummer state from hell. Plus one is mildly positive, and plus five is joy and bliss supreme. Zero is a neutral state with little feeling either positive or negative.

1.    Each day use the scale to rate your mood.

2.    Plot this daily for three months to see if you can identify monthly emotional patterns of highs or lows. Such patterns evidence powerful forces, outside your ego self and independent of the circumstances of your life, that influence your life in predictable ways.

3.    Use this information to help you move more smoothly through life. For instance, if you discover the third week of each month is typically a low-energy, bad-mood time, you can avoid important decisions or projects. If possible, make decisions and compete when you are at your peak in the monthly cycle. If you find yourself in arguments and confrontations, stop to notice what time of month it is and act accordingly. For example, go away from the person or situation and come back another time when you have positive feelings.

Comments:
  For women, you will notice some biorhythm swings that are both related and unrelated to your menstrual cycle. Some men also note more subtle monthly swings.

Time for Exercise: five minutes to one hour (several sessions are an option)

Properties Required: magnifying mirror

Steps:

1. Position the light source so it does not shine directly into your eyes. Sit comfortably in front of the magnifying mirror and look very carefully at your eyes.
2. Notice the color(s) of your eyes. Your eyes are a range of color, not just one solid color. Notice if your eye color changes from one visual inspection to the next.
3. Try to produce the following “looks” at will. This might require a bit of practice. Add any of your own to the list.Anger
   Indifference
   Fear
   Love
   Compassion
   Joy
   Dismissal, go away
   Welcome, come near
   Hello, I’m happy to see you.
   Hello, I’m not happy to see you.
   I want you sexually.

4. You might wish to cover the rest of your face below your eyes when you do this exercise, so you are communicating with your eyes only.
5. To get the proper feeling for a particular look, imagine some scenario from your past. When you have recalled the feeling, observe most carefully how your eyes look. Close your eyes. Reopen them and try to reproduce that same look.

Comments:

You keep your “eyes wide shut” when you don’t know what kind of feeling you are sending out with your eyes energetically, you refuse to look someone in the eyes, or you break eye contact out of fear, insecurity, low self-esteem, or indifference. By practicing various looks, you become cognizant of the messages you give with your eyes. You can gain freedom by using your eyes to communicate intimately with full awareness and conscious intention.

Pregnancy can be an amazing time in our lives. Most women that are pregnant become very aware of their body and the changes that are taking place inside. Of course, it is necessary for us to take better care of ourselves during this time than we even do typically. The reason why this is the case is because the unborn baby inside of us is our responsibility to make sure that they are healthy as well. They need nutrition the same as we need nutrition but the difference is, they are unable to take it in for themselves.

Your doctor will be able to help you to decide on a proper eating program whenever you are pregnant. More than likely, however, it will include a balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats. You may also have to be careful that you do not develop any problems during your pregnancy such as gestational diabetes. If this is the case, you will have to alter your diet to a certain extent in order to make sure that you and your baby are getting the things that you need in order to maintain your health.

The old saying is that you are eating for two. Just because you are eating for two, however, does not mean that you need to binge on things that are unhealthy for you. Remember, everything that you put into your body will directly affect how the baby is fed. Make sure that you are eating healthy things if it is necessary for you to eat additional food. The baby will not take all that many nutrients out of your body that it is necessary for you to eat twice as much. Maintain a healthy balance and you would be surprised at how healthy you and your baby will be when it comes time for delivery.

After you are finished with your pregnancy, you will then need to lose some of the fat that has accumulated during these nine months. This can also be done by following a very basic and balanced diet. With every meal, eat a protein, carbohydrate and legume. Not only will you be energetic and full in between meals, the weight will burn off of you very quickly. You don’t need the extra weight to remind you that you were pregnant, you will have a beautiful baby to remind you every day.

SOUL FREEDOM EXERCISES
Exercises To Do On Your Own

GROUNDING

Grounding is a simple yet powerful energy connection exercise. Through it you connect your individual energy flow to the energy flow of Mother Earth. As you tap into this great force of life, you will become calm and revitalized.

Time for Exercise: 10 minutes
Properties Required: none

Steps:

1. Sit comfortably with eyes closed, back straight but not rigid, shoulders relaxed, arms at your sides, feet flat on the floor.
2. Take several slow deep breaths through your nose.
3. Focus all your attention on your genitals from your tailbone to your pubic bone (your root chakra).
4. Gradually allow an image to form that extends from your genitals to the earth. This can be any image you like, for example, an extension of your flesh, a stream of light, a hollow tube, a tree trunk or roots.
5. When you have your image formed, picture it reaching from your genitals (your root chakra) all the way down into the very center of the earth. Your connecting image passes through your chair, through the floor, through the ground, through the bedrock, and all the way to the molten core at the heart of Mother Earth.
6. Now, allow any negative energies, any overwhelming sensations you might be experiencing (worry, pain, sadness, hyperactivity, lethargy, anger, and so on), to flow down through your body, through your connecting bridge, and into the earth’s core.
7. Imagine these negative energies reaching the center of the earth and being consumed and transformed in a fiery blast. They flow back up to you as Mother Earth energy—calm, strong, full of life.
8. Continue to send overwhelming sensations down to Mother Earth and allow her vitality and serenity to flow up to you through your connecting image. Experience the peacefulness and vigor of grounding.

Comments:

As you are grounding, you might notice particular sensations: heat, tingling, color, sound, light. The importance of this exercise lies in consciously releasing negative energies and absorbing positive ones. If you make this practice a regular habit, you will notice a considerable decrease in your stress level.

Did you ever observe how people in different age groups communicate?

You should!

• Think about your grandma, she probably never has used email in her life.
• Think about your neighbor’s kids. They might send hundreds of text messages from their mobile phones each month, but don’t even have an email account.

Communication preferences are heavily influenced by social groups. In most cases nobody could anticipated those developments. The point is, a marketer needs to observe social phenomenons and be aware of changes. The old saying remains to be true:

No Boundaries

Sacred lovemaking has no goal (you are not trying to get to orgasm) but there is a purpose—the union of the lovers. During sexual/spiritual ecstasy, the boundaries between lovers disappear. If you have secrets and barriers to protect yourself emotionally from your lover, you are blocking yourself from experiencing ecstatic union.

Time for Exercise: 15 minutes to one hour

Properties Required: none

Steps:

1.Consciously identify the secrets you keep and the emotional barriers you have erected.

2.Make a list, including even your most guarded secrets, and put names (or descriptions) to the barriers you have entrenched around your heart. This might take days or weeks, not just a few minutes of casual thought, because these barriers must be uncovered and brought into your consciousness. Often they are stored in the deep subconscious. In fact, you might go on discovering more secrets and emotional barriers for much of your remaining life. This is normal. Just add new ones to your list whenever you discover them. Most important is to take action to remove barriers when you identify them. Identifying barriers means describing them to yourself, for example: “Whenever I receive a compliment from my lover, I get shy and embarrassed and deny the truth of the compliment.” Or, “When my partner wants to try some new sexual experiment, I say no and suggest something is wrong with him for proposing it.”

3.You remove the distance secrets cause by sharing that secret with your lover. You knock down your barricades by altering the protective or dysfunctional behavior associated with it. In the example above, instead of denying the compliment, you simply say, “Thank you.” Instead of saying no a sexual experiment, you say yes (despite your emotional discomfort), and you avoid criticizing your lover.

Comments:

You will discover that your secrets and barriers do not really protect you. Instead, they lock you in a self-constructed cage that you carry with you everywhere. Keeping secrets and erecting emotional barriers are misguided attempts to control your life, because life inside this cage is lonely and alienated. However, the door of the cage is open. You can actually walk out of jail, into the light and love that is your birthright, any time you choose. You don’t have to learn anything new. You dismantle old barriers—let your love out and your lover in. Revealing your secrets is an example of surrendering to your lover by making yourself emotionally vulnerable and transparent.

So you can not get a loan. In all probability,your credit score has let you down. Credit Score of every loan applicant is taken as a guiding factor before further appraisal. People with low credit scores are more likely to be rejected for a loan or at best be given a small amount for a loan, with a high interest rate and a shorter time frame to pay the loan.

In contrast, people with high credit scores are given higher amounts of money for a loan, lower interest rates and longer time frame to pay the loan. This is because people with a good credit score are perceived as less of a risk, more responsible, more able to handle their finances and worthier to be given a loan.

Follow these simple yet effective factors abd improve your credit score -

1. Keep a payment schedule

Your ability to clear your dues has a great bearing on your credit score. Timely payment is crucial. It is important that you keep a payment schedule if you really want to raise your credit score a notch.

You can do this by keeping track of all your bills especially your credit card statements. This way, you will not only incur additional charges in terms interests, you will also build for yourself a good credit history.

2. Spend only when you need to

Another factor that affects credit scores is your credit card. If you often have credit cards that are maxed out and well and beyond its credit limit, your credit score will become lower. This is because a maxed out credit card reflects a spender who cannot handle finances. This kind of person is a risky candidate for a loan.

3. Borrow from only one

Some people make the mistake of applying for a loan in more than one company all at the same time. Never do that. Although banks do not actually check with each other, they do have their own ways of finding out if you have also borrowed money from other institutions. If this is the case, your credit score will take a nosedive.

This is because people who borrows from a lot of companies are seen as too desperate for money or is too needful of it. Some see this as a dubious way of acquiring money. So if you are afraid of getting rejected and you just want to make sure that you will get a loan, try waiting for one response before starting an application in another. That way, your credit score will not suffer.

4. Try to clear your debts

You may find willing lenders because you are a good payer, having too many outstanding debts that you are still paying for may make them think if you can still manage to pay another one.You may be paying your debts but you have a lot that you are not finished paying yet. This is also not good in your credit history.

If you have multiple debts and some funds hand, then it would be a good idea to settle one or two debts in full. That is one less debt for you to worry about. This will not only bring you a step closer to financial independence, it will also improve your credit score - calculate my credit score - strategies for improving credit score.

The process consolidating a debt usually entails a secured loan against something considered as collateral. For example, people often secure a mortgage against their house.

The fact that there is collateral with the loan means that there is a lower rate of interest because the owner of the asset (in this case, a house) agrees to allow the forced sale of his asset to enable the repayment of the loan should he default on payments.

With a lowered risk to the lender comes a lower interest rate for the borrower. Loans for debt are helpful in this way. Get debt consolidation help and advice.

It is a tough time for bumble-bees these days but I am pleased to say that the garden is buzzing with these very welcome visitors.

Having the right flowers in the garden obviously helps so it is very worthwhile doing a bit of research when planning your garden to ensure that you include suitable plants. Bees help to bring a garden to life and I for one would hate to think of any garden I owned not having bumblebees or any kind of bee visiting.

I have read this week that scientists in Aberystwyth believe that flowers “wave” at passing insects to attract attention. Whatever they are on

 Many years later it suddenly became not very politically correct to use peat. Gardeners were strongly encouraged to use alternatives for potting compost. I tried the alternatives that came onto the market, I really tried but they were awful or very difficult to manage.

Remember the big dust-up when clever hackers dug up a hidden sex scene in the PC version of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas? The so-called “Hot Coffee” mod showed graphic sex in the style of the video game, but in order to see it, you had to explicitly hack the game in order to see the naughty bits. Still, the code was on the disc, and anyone with a modicum of reading ability could get to the scenes. The resulting dust-up led to increased scrutiny of the video game industry, an Adults Only re-rating for the game, a product recall, and a legal firestorm that included the introduction of federal legislation. Finally, the class action civil cases over the issue have reached a conclusion, which entitled anyone who felt offended by the scene to receive between $35 (if you still have your receipt) to $5 (if you have no proof of purchase but simply swear that you bought the game), cash, in compensation. more

There are just over 560 carotenoids that are found in the dark green, dark orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables - and beta carotene is one of them. Other carotenoids include alpha carotene, lycopene, as well as canthaxanthin. However, beta carotene is the one carotenoid that is most easily converted to vitamin A by the body.

Even though researchers have known since the early times of this century that this substance found in plants (beta carotene) could be converted over to vitamin A by the body, it was not until the early 1980’s that research provided the proof that beta carotene had functions that were separate from its role with vitamin A.

Over the past two decades, we have learned more about the interrelation between vitamin A and beta carotene. But moreover, we possess the knowledge from studies that now show that beta carotene enhances health and provides disease-prevention. This includes strengthening the immune system, antioxidant functions, cancer prevention, and cell cross-communication.

Beta Carotene As An Antioxidant

The body contains highly reactive substances that are called “free radicals”. If these free radicals are left unchecked, they can be the cause of many diseases. These diseases range from heart disease to arthritis, to cancer, as well as cataracts. Beta carotene works to disarm these substances and makes its mark as a highly effective antioxidant.

By taking the recommended amounts of beta carotene, the body cells are protected due to beta carotene discouraging abnormal formation of cells and helps to limit any free radical damage to the fatty parts of cell membranes. In fact, it only takes one molecule of beta carotene to destroy 1,000+ free radicals.

Beta Carotene’s Role In Preventing Cancer

You may have read several studies that have reported that low levels of blood beta carotene is a red flag for the increased risk of cancer. In contrast, if you eat more foods that are abundant in beta carotene then your chances of cancer are greatly reduced. It is also interesting to note that even people who smoke are less likely to get lung cancer if they are consuming plenty of fruits and vegetables that are rich in beta carotene. Beta carotene is also known to help protect your skin from any damage that may occur from too much sunlight and UV light.

Beta Carotene Helps Boost The Immune System

Last but not least, beta carotene helps to stimulate your immune system. It does so by increasing the number of immune cells. These immune cells are simply white blood cells that form the core of the immune response.
