Food and Body Parts – Carrots

June 14, 2016 by Andrea Leave a Comment

Carrots being connected to the eyes is pretty common knowledge. We eat a lot of them because they are sweet and it’s easy to see the resemblance when you slice them up.

As you can see in the picture below, sliced width wise, the carrot looks like the colored part of the human eye.carrot-and-the-eye

According to scientific studies, eating carrots greatly enhances blood flow to the eyes. Enhancing blood flow means more nutrients are being carried to the eyes so they can function more optimally. Additionally, nature provided just the right nutrients in just the right proportions to give our eyes just what they need without excess and waste.

This process has been developing for millennia!

carrotCarrots gets their orange color from a plant chemical called beta-carotene, which reduces the risk of developing cataracts. Beta carotene is the precursor to Vitamin A and protects the cells of eyes from free radical damage. Vitamin A is essential for good vision but in too high a concentration can be poisonous for the human body. Nature designed it so that we get beta carotene, store it, and as we need Vitamin A, the body releases and converts just the amount of beta carotene to convert to Vitamin A that the body needs and keeps the rest stored for later.

The human body, in conjunction with natural design, is an amazing efficient system. If we would just take the time to learn about it and how to work with it we would have a much better go of getting and staying healthy!

Mother Nature Rules!!
