The Benefits of Carrot Juice

Eight ounces of carrot juice can contain as much as 800% of your daily recommended
dosage of vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential and necessary for tissue growth, especially
within the bones. Vitamin A is also very important in maintaining good vision. The old myth
that eating carrots will help you see better is true, as vitamin A deficiencies can lead to
vision problems such as night blindness.
Spinach is also a very rich source of Vitamin A. A little spinach juiced with a few carrots
will deliver a vitamin A mega beverage. Vitamin A is also very crucial for expectant
mothers and the unborn fetus. Although vitamin A is very important for your body, it is also
important to maintain moderate levels of vitamin A intake, as too much can lead to liver
toxicity, and other health problems.
Carrot juice is also an excellent source of vitamin C. An eight ounce glass of pure carrot
juice can provide your body with up to 35% of your daily recommended dosage of vitamin
C. Vitamin C has a wide variety of uses throughout our entire body, such as collagen
production of the mucous membranes, skin, bones, and teeth. Vitamin C is also a very
crucial antioxidant.
A few carrots juiced with blackcurrant berries, oranges, lemons, or kiwi, can easily provide
you with your whole daily vitamin C dosage, without the need to take synthetic vitamins
supplements.

Carrot juice is an excellent drinkable source of potassium. Potassium is very important in
helping to maintain a healthy electrolyte balance and fluid level in the cells of your body.
It's also necessary in muscle movement, such as contraction, as well as
neurotransmission. Potassium deficiencies are very bad for your body, with such effects as
Hypokalemia, acne, muscle spasms, dry skin, and elevated cholesterol levels. Carrots
juiced with celery or turnips can provide your body with a large intake level of potassium.
An eight ounce glass of pure carrot juice will usually provide up to 10% of
the daily recommended intake level of potassium. It should be known that individuals who
suffer from kidney disease, should avoid taking in large amounts of potassium, as it can be
very harmful on the organs.
Pure carrot juice is a very low calorie juice drink. Eight fluid ounces of the beverage yields
usually no more then 80 calories. Carrot juice is an excellent nutritional supplement for
dieters, providing you with a rich supply of essential vitamins and minerals, without being
accompanied by all of the calories that a health shake might give you. For athletes and
weightlifters, the calorie level of carrot juice can be upped by blending it with fruit yogurt,
milk, ice cream, or a protein powder supplement. I have even heard of people blending the
juice with rolled oats, cereal, or boiled rice to dramatically increase the calorie and
nutritional levels.
Pure carrot juice in an eight ounce serving can provide up to 6% percent of your daily
recommended intake level of calcium. It is very important to receive a healthy level of
calcium in your daily diet. Bones and teeth are dependent on calcium for growth and
formation, especially the skeletal structure and development of children. Calcium
absorption should also be accompanied by vitamin D, which helps aid your body's intake
of the mineral. Like potassium, calcium is important for neurotransmission, and muscle
movement and contraction.  Carrots juiced with broccoli can provide an excellent vegetable calcium drink. For a
calcium shake, you may also choose to juice your carrots and then blend it with yogurt for
a carrot juice smoothie, which makes for a healthy breakfast shake, or evening dessert.
