Tingkatkan Imuniti #1 : Carrot Juice

6 Jun 2013 : Sebatang carrot dicampur sedikit air diblend dalam multi-purpose blender. Mmg air saja diambil sbb menggunakan extractor. I've got no prob with this carrot juice since aku mmg suka ratah carrot begitu saja. Carrot susu pun aku suka. So, rasa : sedap!

Jadi, mari tgk benefit dia. Dan dalam artikel ini juga turut dinyatakan berapa byk yg kita patut ambil. Memang apa pun yg kita buat, apa pun yg kita makan, kita kena lakukan secara berpada-pada. Secara sederhana. Kan wasadtiyah itu juga dituntut dalam Islam. Yg berkhasiat akan jadi racun kalau diambil secara berlebihan. Nak buat sesuatu juga kena ada ilmu kan. Nak bercakap/menulis pun kena dapatkan fakta dan ilmu dahulu. Apa pun, kembali kepada ajaran Islam. Insyaallah... yg baik saja utk kita :)

Carrot Juice Benefits

Sure, carrot juice is good for everyone, but special attention should be paid by those who have lowered immunity or eye diseases. Drinking a glass of carrot juice a day is recommended for pregnant and lactating women.

Slightly diluted with water, it can be given to children.

The main healthy component in carrot juice is vitamin A, which is required:

If one’s got eye problems. It helps low vision.

If one’s got skin problems. Lack of vitamin A is immediately visible on the skin as it gets dry or may be flaking. Heels and elbows get hard very quickly.

For growth and development of bones of the body.

For pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as children.

For healthy tooth enamel in adults and proper development of teeth in children.

For mucous membranes to be healthy. Otherwise, the protection against infections drops, and infection can occur at any mucous body, such as as the bladder, stomach and intestines, mouth, etc.

For cleansing the liver. Vitamin A accumulates in the liver and cleanses it constantly, so carrot juice supports the health of the liver.

Carrot juice is rich in antioxidants, which:

Slow down the aging process and reduce the risk of cancer.

Help cleanse the cells of toxins and impurities, thus ridding the skin of acne.

Drinking carrot juice can help you get rid of dermatitis and eczema.

Vitamin C acts as a protector of the nervous and immune systems.

A glass of fresh carrot juice perfectly relieves stress after a hard day and calms if one is overexcited. It is important to drink fresh carrot juice for smokers because nicotine destroys all supplies of vitamin C in the body. Vitamin C in combination with B vitamins reduces the level of harmful cholesterol, thereby protecting the cardiovascular system.

Fresh carrot juice increases appetite and improves digestion. It serves as a great resource in atherosclerosis, infections and kidney stones.

Carrot juice is very helpful to women. Carotene normalizes the synthesis of female sex hormones. That allows women to stay young and healthy for longer. Because the lack of vitamin A leads to infertility, carrot juice, in some cases helps to resolve that problem.

In addition to a fun-filled orange color, carrot juice contains a substance related to endorphins, which promotes a sense of joy. In a moment of bad temper when your hand is reaching for a chocolate bar or a cake, you’d better squeeze a cup of carrot juice instead, so you would get a good mood right now … and in a few days too, looking at the scale).

Carrot juice can also benefit for red-haired beauties. A carrot juice mask will give your hair a beautiful shine and color, restore and strengthen the structure of hair follicles. Method: fresh juice is distributed along the hair and gently rubbed into the scalp, avoiding places around the forehead and temples. Put a shower cap on your head, after half an hour rinse your hair with water.

How And How Much Carrot Juice To Drink

The first rule is that you need to drink carrot juice with any fat. You can add a spoonful of sour cream or a bit of cream, olive or other vegetable oil. Fat promotes the absorption of carotene in the liver. Pure carrot juice in small amounts is almost useless, as it’s not digestible; in large amounts, it will create a heavy load on the liver. (yg ini aku tak berapa nak confirm sbb Doc suggest minum begitu saja)

Keep the fresh squeezed juice no more than an hour because many vitamins, including beta-carotene, begin to fail and lose activity, and carrot juice benefits considerably reduce.

Drink carrot juice for half an hour before meals and, even better, in the morning on an empty stomach.

There’s a lot of controversy about how much carrot juice you can drink a day. The average daily need for beta-carotene and vitamin A is covered by a glass of carrot juice (250 ml) for both men and women. Yellow skin (it’s especially noticeable on the face) is a sure sign that all is good in moderation and it’s time to take a break from drinking carrot juice.

Children can be given carrot juice after six months by diluting it with water (1:1).

Carrot Juice Contraindications

Carrot juice should be avoided by people with diabetes.

It is not recommended that you drink it if you have an increased acidity in the stomach, ulcer or gastritis.

Carrot juice has a mild laxative effect, so it should not be consumed if you have diarrhea.

It is equally important to stress that the excessive consumption of carrot juice can cause yellow skin, weakness, drowsiness, headache and vomiting. In such situations, drinking should be stopped immediately.

Do not forget the old saying – everything is good in moderation.
