Carrot is a crispy and nutritious home-cooked dish. Chinese medicine believes that it can tonify the middle qi, strengthen the stomach and promote digestion, strengthen yang and soothe the five internal organs, and has a good curative effect on dyspepsia, chronic dysentery, cough and night blindness, so it is known as "Oriental Little Ginseng". After being fried and eaten, it can be converted into vitamin A in human body, which can improve human immunity and indirectly kill cancer cells. The latest research by American scientists confirms that eating two carrots every day can reduce blood cholesterol10% ~ 20%; Eating three carrots a day helps to prevent heart disease and tumors.

Carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene, which, like natural eye drops, helps to keep the cornea smooth and transparent and promote eye health. It can also prevent cataracts and help protect the fiber part of the lens of the eye. Because the molecular structure of carotene is equivalent to two molecules of vitamin A, after it enters the body, 50% of it becomes vitamin A through the action of enzymes in the liver and small intestine mucosa, thus it has the function of nourishing the liver and improving eyesight and can treat night blindness.

2. Spinach

Spinach is known as a "nutrition model student", which is rich in carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin K, minerals (calcium, iron, etc. ), coenzyme Q 10 and other nutrients.

The benefits of spinach don't stop there. It is rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium, which can help eye muscles to enhance elasticity and prevent myopia. It is well known that people with calcium deficiency have poor eyeball elasticity and tend to lengthen the axial length. Rice, fried meat, sweet drinks, braised fish and desserts will cause serious calcium loss in human body. If we can eat less meat and more green leafy vegetables, we can make up for this shortcoming and greatly improve the elasticity of eyeball muscles. A carotenoid named lutein found in spinach can prevent cataracts and macular degeneration.
