Make yourself a believer!!!!!!!! I'm slowly beginning to believe that hair is 80% what you out into it and 20% of how you handle it. I don't know what its going to take to get people to see that healthy hair also starts from the inside and that what we do to it on the outside is a mere compliment. The other thread was getting very long so I decided to start a new one.
Any takers!!!!!!
ETA: I'm very aware of the sugar content of carrots. I cut down sugar in a lot of areas in my life so this isn't going to kill me.
*****************Outline of the Challenge*********************
~1. Drink carrot juice 3-4 times a week. You have a lil room to slack if you don't feel like juicing.
~2. Report on your progress daily, weekly, or monthly!
~3. Sit back, watch, and take control of your beauty and health internally.
~4. This challenge ends on December 31, 2007
ETA: Don't forget to share your different receipes like what you're jucing or mixing with your carrot juice.
Carrot juice is very high in beta-carotene, and is a cancer-fighting agent. Beta-carotene is a pigment substance found in plants that can often form into vitamin A. Vitamin A helps to promote growth for visual light and color, prevents drying of the skin and eyes, helps maintain the digestive system and urinary tracts, as well as enhances the fight towards bacterial infection. Vitamin A may also be an aid in helping to prevent certain forms of cancer. If you do not receive enough vitamin A, it may cause symptoms including: night blindness, poor growth, dry skin, and xerophthalmia or dry eye. The vitamin A from freshly juiced carrots is very important for women who are pregnant. They need to build up and maintain the health of their own body, as well as the new developing child. Even after the baby is born, it is still imperative that fresh carrot juice is kept in the daily diet for the mother nursing the child.
Carrot juice may also be used to cleanse to liver and excrete fats and bile from the body. The liver is capable of storing large quantities of vitamin A over a period of years to be called upon when needed. In order to keep this surplus at an adequate point, an ample daily intake should be provided. For example, an 8-ounce glass of fresh carrot juice will provide an average of 50,000 or more units of vitamin A. In this form the daily requirements and adds to the surplus accumulated to meet any emergency.
Another vitamin contained in carrot juice is vitamin E. This vitamin appears in three forms, known chemically as alpha-, beta-, and gamma-tocopherol, and commonly known as the vitamin E complex. In animal experimentation, vitamin E has been found to affect reproduction. When foods bearing this vitamin were fed to animals that had failed to reproduce, their sterility was overcome.
WheatgrassCarrots also carry other vitamins such as B, C, D, E, and K, and minerals like calcium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, and traces of protein. Juicing your carrots will help to promote healthier hair, skin, and nails.
Because of its rich vitamin and mineral content--and other valuable nutrients--the daily diet should be fortified with the protective and healthful benefits of carrot juice. It can be taken alone, or combined with other fruit and vegetables juices.
Anyone looking to immediately improve their general health, or treat specific maladies should look first to the delightfully bright orange drink made by a quality juicer. Vegetables are themselves a vital part of any diet, and one of the most vitamin rich of these is the carrot.
Any takers!!!!!!
