Diet Tip | CARROTS HELP YOU SEE IN THE DARK - TRUE!

Most people believe that the saying, “Eating carrots will help you see in the dark”, is an old wives tale, yet there is some truth in it.

Carrots contain significant levels of vitamin A which is essential for vision, particularly in dim light. Also referred to as Carotene or Retinol, vitamin A can also help to repair body tissue and bone, and strengthens the immune system to fight off bacteria and viruses.

Good sources of vitamin A include butter, liver, cheese, whole milk, dark and green leafy vegetables, orange coloured fruits (such as mangoes, apricots etc.) pumpkins, oily fish, eggs and, of course, carrots.

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin A is 0.7mg for men and 0.6mg for women.
