14 DAY TRIAL // Unless you were raised by wolves or some other meat-eating creatures that would never, ever let veggies come anywhere near their mouth, chances are that you are all too familiar with that rather annoying piece of advice that, if you want to see better, you should eat lots and lots of carrots.
The thing is that, as it turns out, eating carrots does not really help anyone see better. True, snacking on this vegetable kind of, sort of benefits a guy's or a gal's sense of sight, but not all that much and not in the way too many people think it does.
As detailed in the video below, carrots contain a chemical compound dubbed beta-carotene. When in the body, this compound is converted into vitamin A, which in turn eventually becomes retinal. This compound sets up camp in vision cells dubbed rods and makes it possible for us to see.
What this means is that carrots benefit the overall health condition of our eyes. They cannot, however, fix underlying conditions or give us a superhuman sense of sight. Besides, it's important to note that all foods that contain vitamin A have the same effect on the eyes.
Otherwise put, those looking to keep their vision cells healthy don't have to snack on carrots every waking hour. On the contrary, they can always eat lettuce, spinach or mangoes instead. Unfortunately, pizza and hamburgers are not included on this list.
