How to eat carrots to protect your eyes?

As early as over 1500 years ago, Chinese medical expert Tao Hongjing from the Liang Dynasty and medical expert Chao Yuanfang from the Sui Dynasty recorded the ability of the liver to improve night blindness.

Over 1000 years ago, medical expert Sun Simiao from the Tang Dynasty also recorded in the book "Qianjin Fang" that animal livers can treat night blindness.

With the development of technology and continuous exploration, people gradually discovered that these foods beneficial to the eyes contain a large amount of vitamin A.

Vitamin A is so good, why not just eat it directly without any special diet?

Actually, it's not that simple.

Excessive intake of vitamin A can cause an increase in the amount of retinyl ester in the blood. Retinyl ester is like a young man with thoughts, it loves lipoproteins and wants to "stick" to them. When it flows through the membrane structures, it bravely and persistently pursues love. The "harassed" lipoproteins cannot function properly, eventually causing changes in the surface activity of the membrane and leading to various toxic symptoms in our body.
