JessiccaThe Untold Benefits of the Carrot!
December 23rd 2008 07:58
Do you know that carrots are an excellent source of antioxidant compounds, and the richest vegetable source of the pro-vitamin A carotenes?
The carrots' antioxidant compounds will help protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer and also promote good vision, especially night vision.
The Beta-carotene helps to protect vision, especially night vision. After beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the liver, it travels to the retina where it is transformed into rhodopsin, a purple pigment that is necessary for night-vision. (If you want to avoid the night blindness, then you should consume more carrots!)
Beta-carotene's powerful antioxidant actions help provide protection against macular degeneration and the development of senile cataracts, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly.
PS: Now, you know why the rabbits didn't have any night blindness! lol
