What is beta carotene? What are the benefits?

Carotene is a natural pigment mainly existing in dark green or red yellow fruits and vegetables such as carrot, spinach, pumpkin, tomato, citrus, Hami melon, vegetable pepper and so on. Carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body. In addition to the well-known functions of protecting vision, improving night blindness and maintaining skin health, it also has many other effects. What are the effects and functions of carotene? Let's have a look.

1. Protect eyesight

After carotene enters the body, it can synthesize vitamin A and promote the generation of photosensitive pigment in the eyes, so that people can see objects in the dark environment, so as to avoid the symptoms of slow adaptation of dark vision caused by lack of vitamin A and prevent night blindness. In addition, vitamin A can increase the ability of eye color discrimination, alleviate dry eye astringency, prevent corneal diseases, and even reduce the risk of cataract.

2. Maintain skin health

Vitamin A is an indispensable component to maintain the development and integrity of epithelial tissue, and carotene can be transformed into vitamin A in animals. Therefore, moderate intake of carotene can maintain the normal function of skin cells and prevent skin diseases such as rough and dull skin, keratinization, thickening, dryness and debris. In addition, carotene can also be used as an adjuvant treatment for "helioinflammation" caused by solar explosion.
