Carrot Juice for Hormone Balance

I will testify to this day that I got pregnant for the first time at age 38, because I was drinking carrot juice daily.

There is no scientific proof of this, but I just know.

Before carrot juice = irregular periods, hormone fluctuations due to age.


After carrot juice:


Weight loss
Brighter complexion
Weird bumps on inner arms went away
Brighter eyes
Fewer stomach troubles
Regular periods – like clockwork, for the first time in my life
Preganancy

I also drank carrot juice throughout my pregnancy and while I was breastfeeding my son.

My son's reading ability is off the charts advanced. I have no way of knowing to what extent the carrot juice has contributed to his overall intelligence. But if I had to venture a guess, I'd say it was a factor.


I went off carrot juice for a while, just too busy to bother. Started drinking it again last spring, same effects!

If you're looking for something to level you out hormonally, aid digestion, brighten your eyes and skin, and just contribute to overall health, I'd give it a try!

You don't need a full, 8 oz. glass of carrot juice. Actually I think that's too much sugar. About 4 ounces, with a squeeze of lemon, should do the trick.

Carrots provide beta-carotene which converts to vitamin A in the body.

I've also read that you're more likely to absorb the vitamin A from carrot juice and carrots, if you pair it with a healthy fat, like coconut oil.

So, why not enjoy your morning cup of carrot juice with some granola that contains oats and coconut oil, as well as some healthy nuts and seeds (also good for the hormones).


If you need a recommendation for a good juicer, try Breville.

Bottoms up, health nuts!

Mom
