Carrot Juice to the Max

Carrot Juice and Blender

Ain't gotta tell ME twice

Juice is so good for you. Especially so, when you combine eating a good meal and then drinking vegetable or healthy fruit juices as a snack/treat later in the night. I love rewarding myself for going to the gym, by drinking a big container of carrot juice. The weird thing is that I have actually had improvements to my vision about two months into my carrot juice consumption. Wikipedia says that vitamin A is good for eyesight. I used to think that was a myth. But I’ve found from experience that it is true. Vitamin A is in carrots indirectly because carrots have beta-carotene. And beta-carotene can be converted into vitamin A by our bodies. I first noticed changes to my vision during nighttime freeway driving. I remember being surprised by how clear the road signs were at a distance. I closed my left eye, because my right eye is kind of blurry during distance viewing. And I could still see the sign very clearly.

That is super cool, because I was actually considering getting laser surgery in 10 years or so, because I expected for my eyesight to eventually disintegrate with age. But I would greatly prefer to drink a satisfying beverage over having laser beams slice up my eyeballs.

THANKS VEGGIES!
