Using carrots in your power juicer recipes is a great way to take care of your eyes. Carrots are loaded with an antioxidant called beta-carotene that protects the eyes from oxidative damage that can lead to premature aging of the eyes and ward off eye diseases like macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma. Beta-carotene is also converted by the body into vitamin A as needed. Vitamin A is actually essential to eye health and if we become deficient in it we will first become night blind and if the deficiency continues long enough we will become completely blind.

Researchers have found that there is an antioxidant in ginger that delivers this anti-inflammatory effect and they aptly named it ‘gingerol’. Gingerol works by inhibiting the synthesis of chemicals in the body that have an inflammatory effect upon the joints. In addition to this, the antioxidant effects of gingerol also protects the cells of the joints from oxidative damage that leads to inflammation. So fresh juice which contains ginger is used by some people with arthritis to help manage their painful symptoms.
