The benefits of carrots...on fighting acneYou should know the benefits of carrots and be sure to make them a part of your clear skin diet. Most people know carrot's nutritional value like vitamin A for good vision, especially contributing to night vision. But did you know carrots are packed full of goodies that help fight acne?
• Pro-vitamin A • Vitamin C • Vitamin E • Vitamin K • Vitamin B1 • Vitamin B6 Other Nutrients: • Calcium • Potassium • Biotin • Magnesium • Dietary Fiber Impressive, don’t you think? To top it off, carrots taste delicious, especially when juiced! Carrots are always the main food I add when I juice…yum!
• Great Cleanser Carrots are responsible for cleaning our bodies form the inside out, by ridding our system of toxins that can contribute to the formation of acne. Carrots cleanse the blood and liver. • Antioxidant Carrots are a great source of antioxidants. This popular vegetable contains the richest source of pro-vitamin A. • Immune System Builder Just check out all the nutrients mentioned earlier. All of those vitamins and nutrients contribute to a strong immune system. And you know, a strong immune system allows your body to fight and recover from acne. Enjoy the Benefits of Carrots... The possibilities are endless. Carrots can pretty much be eaten anytime, throughout the day.
Carrots, like most vegetables are (in my opinion) best consumed raw. By eating your veggies raw, you are receiving the maximum amount of nutrients. Cooking your vegetables, diminish the nutritional value in your fruits and veggies. • Pack them for a snack I find organic baby carrots great for this. I pack my daughter’s lunch bag with a few baby carrots and a side container of ranch dressing, for dipping. Carrots are so full of sweet flavor, you can skip the dressing and eat them alone. • Add them to… Salads (shredded) Or… • Juicing, getting the most from your carrots!!! This is my favorite way of reaping the benefits of carrots for acne. I like to juice 6-8 large organic carrots and then add a couple of apples and sometimes 2-3 Kale leaves. Yum…juicing carrots are delicious. This is how I get control of my acne and get that healthy glow to my skin.
