Side effects of excessive consumption of carrots:
Although carrots are very nutritious to people, we should also pay attention to eating them in moderation. Excessive drinking of vegetable juice made of carrots or tomatoes may cause carrot anemia and turn the skin of face and hands orange. Loss of appetite, unstable mental state, restlessness, even restless sleep, accompanied by night terrors, crying, talking in dreams and other manifestations.
Carotene supplementation can not only reduce cardiovascular diseases and cataracts, but also prevent cancer. However, in recent years, many test results show that the incidence of lung cancer in the group taking beta carotene is 28% higher than that in the normal control group. Nutritionist analysis: Supplementing the physiological dose (5 mg/day) of carotene does have the effect of inhibiting cancer, while taking too much carotene will prevent vitamin A from combining with the corresponding receptor, thus preventing the transformation of tumor suppressor genes, and the result is not to inhibit cancer, but to the opposite side.
To this end, the human body only needs to supplement the physiological dose of carotene, and must not arbitrarily increase the dose and abuse it. Usually, you only need to eat natural foods rich in beta carotene, such as various animal livers, milk, carrots, leeks, tea and so on.
