Children’s eye care food therapy

1, yellow fruits and vegetables and green leafy vegetables: rich in beta-carotene The human body will convert beta-carotene into vitamin A as needed after ingesting beta-carotene, which can avoid poisoning caused by excessive intake of vitamin A. Therefore, beta-carotene is a safe source of vitamin A for human consumption. Most orange fruits and vegetables contain more beta-carotene, including carrots, pumpkin, loquat, apricot, sweet potato, papaya, mango, tomato, etc.; green vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, broccoli, leek, rape, and capers also contain more beta-carotene. However, since carotene is a fat-soluble substance, it should be fried in oil or stewed with meat before consumption to facilitate absorption, so it is actually useless for us to eat raw carrots to absorb beta-carotene. 2, animal liver: a natural source of vitamin A The chemical name of vitamin A is retinol, also known as the anti-dry eye vitamin.
