Why include carrot juice in your routine?

Is it worth including carrot juice in your daily diet?! Certainly! Below you can see the main advantages of this preparation:

• It is rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into retinol, one of the purest forms of vitamin A, a wonderful substance when it comes to healing and reducing redness and inflammation, explains Takatsu;
• It is an ally of beauty as it helps to rejuvenate, brighten and soothe the skin;
• Topically (directly to the skin), it can help fight sun damage as it contains falcarinol, an antioxidant;
• It has carotenes that act as a very mild sunscreen if the juice is used topically, explains the nutritionist;
• Helps to maintain the tan naturally;
• Increases immunity;
• It is beneficial for eye health;
• It helps to lower cholesterol levels (due to the presence of potassium).

Most people consume carrot juice solely because they believe it helps in tanning the skin. Takatsu points out, however, that the drink won’t make anyone more tanned. “But yes, it can help people to have darker skin by stimulating melanin in a healthier way. It is important to point out that sun exposure should be done until 10 am, and always with the use of sunscreen”, he says.

Although it is very beneficial for health, carrot juice should not be consumed in excess and, in some cases, it is contraindicated. “When consumed in large quantities, carrots can cause cavities and yellow skin. In addition, it can cause an allergic reaction in people who are allergic to birch, mugwort, spices, celery, and related plants.”

“For patients with diabetes, carrots can reduce blood sugar levels by interfering with medications used and causing suboptimal levels. So, if the person has diabetes and consumes a large amount of carrots, I recommend monitoring blood glucose”, concludes the nutritionist.

Now you know that it is really worth including carrot juice in your routine, however, no exaggeration! Use and abuse your creativity when adding new ingredients to the juice so you don’t get sick of the taste and, preferably, consume the drink without sweetening and immediately after preparation.
