Carrot Juice and Healthy Eyes:

Alongside all the potential vitamin A, carrot juice provides some very important antioxidants involved in keeping your eyes healthy. Beta-carotene is probably the best known of the carotenoids and carrot juice obviously has this health nutrient in abundance. It also has high levels of alpha-carotene, which some researchers believe to be an even more powerful antioxidant that beta-carotene.More important for the eyes are lutein and zeaxanthin. This is because they provide protection specifically for the macula – the central area of the retina involved with focus and fine detail. Whilst carrots don’t provide levels of lutein and zeaxanthin anywhere near say spinach or goji berries, these nutrients are once again a highly absorbable form and if you’re having carrot juice regularly you should be getting a good intake.It is being suggested that eating just one carrot that day could reduce your risk of developing macula degeneration (the leading cause of blindness in America) by up to 40 percent. Imagine what regular carrot juice can do.Even if you’re not concerned about potential problems later in life, drinking carrot juice regularly will likely make a big difference in the quality and clarity of your vision. If your eyes are tired and sore, or you are just not seeing details and colors like you used to, regular carrot juice has the nutrients we need for healthy eyes and better vision.Obviously you need a good juicer to make carrot juice. If you don’t already have one, this high juice yield masticating juicer that I have gets about double the juice out of a couple of carrots than my old centrifugal one used to. If you enjoy the health and skin benefits of drinking carrot juice and other fresh juices, it pays to get a high quality juicer that will last.
