Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Carrots are excellent for the eyes. Carrots contains large quantities of vitamin A, in the form of beta carotene. Juicing a carrot removes the indigestible fiber. Thus, the nutrients in it are available to the body in much larger quantities than if the carrot was eaten whole. This is because many of the nutrients are trapped in the fibre, and while fibre aids digestion, some part of the fibre is indigestible. Thus, you don't get the benefits of the nutrients that are trapped in the indigestible fibre. Did you know that if you eat a carrot raw, you only get access to about 1% of the available beta carotene? But, when you or your child has a glass of carrot juice, you your system absorbs almost 100% or the beta carotene! Carrot juice has anti-carcinogen properties. Thus, it helps prevent cancer. It is also believed to have cancer-curing properties. Beta carotene is an anti-oxidant, and thus it prevents cell degeneration. Anti-oxidants also slow down the ageing process. Carrots are also good for the skin. Carrot juice is like a tonic. It will improve the overall health of you and your child, and increase immunity. In fact, two glasses of carrot juice a day can increase your immunity by as much as 70%! Carrot juice is rich in so many minerals, that it's no less than a miracle juice! You could also add some spinach or beetroot to your carrot juice. Squeeze some lime into the glass, add seasoning if you must, and a tasty glass packed with nutrients is ready!

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 A friend of mine drank carrot juice twice a day after being told she had cervical cancer spread throughout her entire body and had at most 3 months - 15 years ago! We juice with 4 carrots, 3 apples, 2 oranges, 1 lemon. My daighter begs for it! Anyone else have good carrot juice recipes?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 The yellow-green flourescent glow in urine is commonly seen after taking excess vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), commonly seen by people who take B complex 50 mg or 100 mg. However in your case, it's the nutritional yeast that you are taking. The richest source of Riboflavin is brewer's yeast. B2 is easily absorbed from the small intestines into the blood and any excess is eliminated in the urine. There are no known toxic reactions to riboflavin, though high intake may cause losses, mainly from the urine, of other B vitamins. Riboflavon is found in many foods that contain other B vitamins, but it is not found in huge amounts in very many foods. Liver tongue and other organ meats are also excellent sources. About drinking carrot juice, high intake will cause an orange-yellow discoloring of the skin. This occurs occasionally when people drink large amounts of carrot juice daily over time. It is of no real consequence and will clear when there is a reduction in carotene intake. Carrot juice contains Vitamin A - beta carotene. However there is a number of toxicity symptoms associated with too much Vitamin A since it is storefd in the body and is not readily excreted. herbal remedies , SpareRibOfAz@a... wrote: > In a message dated 2/6/04 12:11:37 PM US Mountain Standard Time, > tunabella writes: > > > In December i started making carrot juice every morning for > > breakfast.
