Vitamin A, which is important for preventing night blindness and lens clouding, is derived from 60% of beta-carotene.
The first thing many people think of when they want to protect their eyes is to eat carrots.
Carrots contain a large number of carotenoids, which are important for maintaining healthy eyes. The carotenoids that are widely recognized for their eye protection are beta-carotene and lutein. Vitamin A, which is important for preventing night blindness and lens clouding, is derived from 60% of beta-carotene.
Beta-carotene is a common "vitamin A prodrug" found in foods.
Simply put, carotene is a yellow or red pigment that is abundant in dark green and yellow vegetables and fruits, as well as in milk, egg yolk, and human fat.
There are four common forms of carotenoids: alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-. All of them can be converted into vitamin A, and are therefore considered vitamin A pro- (a collective term for components that can be converted into vitamin A in the body). We consider beta-carotene important precisely because of its vitamin A pro-vitamin properties.
Of the four carotenoids, beta-carotene is the most common in food and is the typical representative of vitamin A prodigiously. Beta-carotene is found in green leafy vegetables, orange vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, etc.), and eggs. beta-carotene is widely found in vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, kale, cabbage and tomatoes, and needs to be heated at high temperatures before eating.
The most significant effect of beta-carotene is that it is good for vision, because beta-carotene can be converted into retinol, which can promote the synthesis of light-sensitive substances in the visual cells, and patients suffering from night blindness can be properly supplemented with beta-carotene. Secondly, beta-carotene also has the function of maintaining the integrity of skin mucous membrane, and patients with rough skin can supplement beta-carotene in time. beta-carotene has certain effects on enhancing the immunity of the body and regulating the endocrine.
Beta carotene is an essential nutrient for the human body, but it should be noted that excessive intake can also produce side effects. These carotenoids are rich in antioxidant substances and can fight free radicals to whiten the skin after ingestion into the body. However, care should be taken not to consume too much. If too much is consumed, the imbalance of vitamin nutrients in the body will also appear to accumulate in the liver, which can cause liver disease to the detriment of health.
The human body cannot synthesize beta-carotene by itself, and the carotene in fruits and vegetables will be excreted after fiber. Very little carotene is really absorbed by the body, so exogenous supplementation is needed.
