Fennel (fennel) 24 10 When a chemist analyzed a chemical from the orange pigment of carrots, he named it carotene. And β -carotene is the most common and stable natural pigment in nature. It is widely hidden in many natural foods, such as sweet potato, carrot, spinach, papaya, mango and other β -carotene is a treasure.
β -carotene is an indispensable nutrient for maintaining human health. It can be converted into vitamin A, which is the safest product to supplement vitamin A at present. It can also maintain the health of eyes and skin, improve the roughness of skin, and then prevent many degenerative diseases caused by aging.
Therefore, people who have been operating computers for a long time, people who are infected with respiratory system, and people with impaired vision can eat more foods rich in beta-carotene.
Although β -carotene is good, don't be greedy.
β -carotene and vitamin A are fat-soluble substances, which can be fried in oil or stewed with meat before eating, which is more conducive to absorption.
However, don't eat too much beta-carotene. If you eat a lot of beta-carotene, the skin pigment will change and turn orange. In addition, eating wine with carrots will cause a large amount of carotene to enter the human body together with alcohol, which will produce toxins in the liver and lead to liver disease. These are all things that need attention.
