Carrots internally protect you from the sun

in #health8 years ago

I juice vegetables and fruits a lot. Carrots are a main staple in all my juices. I noticed that I did not burn as bad in he sun. I refuse to use sunscreen. If I did get burned it quickly turned from red to darker tan. I have a copper look from juicing so many carrots. I researched why and found this study:

Interesting - makes sense, well spotted.

Thank you - you have got me thinking..

Welcome. Experiment . Juicing is reguvinating for the body.

No worries - I like your connection of sun and carrots/carotene, and I can see why it would make sense to add carrots to juices in the summer months.

Thanks for sharing tbave!!!
