                                           THE AMAZING CARROT AND YOUR SKIN

lets not despise the carrot,it's cheap and widely available...with just 20 bob you can enjoy a nice tall glass of carrot juice.
For those with uneven pigmentation,this could be your natural no-pill no side effects cure.How?you ask?
Benefits of carrots are numerous,i will name a few but today lets focus on carrots for your skin

4.Great for bronchitis..a glass of carrot juice clears your chest right up
5.Reducies acne,wrinkles and fights off the effect of harmful UV rays from the sun

                                                 CARROT AND BEETROOT MEDLEY
After a long hot day in the Nairobi sun,this really helps to pick me up..My apologies on the dark pictures,working on acquiring a better camera very soon
1.Peel about 8 small carrots and 1 small beetroot.You can leave the beetroot out if you don't like the taste.
2.Juice the ingredients and chill for an hour or so.or add ice cubes.
3.Enjoy


                                                                         FUN FACT OF THE DAY

     *  Never eat it if you dont like the taste,your body won't like it either. 



      * Mix it with mango or passion or whatever your taste buds fancy.

      * Have a glass of this every day (thank me later),but not more than 1 glass because your body will not       absorb it.
