Sometimes a person may suddenly crave certain foods. For example, a keen desire to eat carrots overtakes not only pregnant women, but also men or children. This could be an occasional whim or a signal of vitamin deficiency.
You may want to feel the taste of carrots on the tongue if problems with vision, mucous membranes or skin are outlined in the body. Perhaps they have not yet manifested themselves sufficiently, but if you do not feed the body with the right foods, the process will worsen. The fact is that carotene, that is, the pigment that gives these root crops an orange color, is converted into vitamin A during digestion. It is vital for the organs of vision to recover from bright flashes of light and for the ability to see at dusk. Lack of vitamin A can lead to dryness of the cornea, and subsequently - to conjunctivitis. A similar process occurs in the lungs, and in the genitals, and in the stomach: wherever there is a mucous membrane, it turns into a keratinized layer of cells. Vitamin A speeds up collagen synthesis and helps the skin to renew itself faster.
With all this in mind, it is important not only to chew on carrots regularly, but to do it right. The thinnest top layer of the skin is removed from the root vegetable and the carrots are chopped or converted into juice. It is best absorbed raw and in combination with fatty foods - butter, sour cream, mayonnaise.
It is curious that psychologists consider those who especially love carrots to be healthy and balanced people.
