I strongly recommend the ABC Drink – this juice prepared from apple, beetroot and carrot for consumption each morning on empty stomach. There is no strict quantity required for this juice. I take half of apple, beetroot and one whole carrot, I add two amalas, pudina and a small piece of ginger in it and let me tell you it tastes yummy!! Of course you need to remove the stems of and seeds from the fruits, wash them clean and then put them in juicer and get the juice.

This juice is terribly nutritious; full of antioxidants since apple is full of Vitamins like A, B1, B2, B6, C, E and K along with nutrients like Folate, Zinc, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Calcium, Sodium and Iron. While carrots are known to have vitamins like A, B1, B2, B3, C, E and K along with Niacin and Pantothenic Acid supported by minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium and Selenium.

What is the best way to eat carrots? Generally, we tend to think that vegetables, including carrots, should be eaten raw, or else they lose many vitamins. Beta-carotene is not a heat-sensitive nutrient, therefore, it is not destroyed with a short cooking time; actually, when this vegetable is cooked, the cell walls of the plant tissues soften, making it easier for our digestive system to assimilate this precious substance. Basically, if you cook it in a short cooking time, it increases the absorption of beta-carotene. Remember to not to cook the root too much. It should remain compacted and crunchy.

Another useful style to absorb even more beta-carotene is to season the carrots with fats such as oil, butter, or ghee. Fat increases the bioavailability of beta-carotene and it can triple your body’s ability to absorb it. Add carrots to your daily food intake because it is powerhouse of nutrition.

Warning: Don’t cook carrots and leave them at room temperature for more than 5-6 hours, because harmful substances can develop on them.
