Carrots are high in beta carotene, a component of vitamin A, which is critical to normal vision. A study by researchers at Johns

Hopkins in 1998 looked at 30,000 women in South Asia at high risk of vitamin deficiencies. It found that a group that received vitamin A tablets had 67 percent fewer cases of night blindness than a group that received a placebo. Does this study support the claim that carrots improve your eyesight?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Beta carotene is a carotenoid present in the fruits and vegetables which provides the red and orange color. The beta carotene exists in the vegetables as a pigment.

The carotene for the first time was extracted from the carrot in 1831 and was found that it acts as a precursor of the vitamin A molecule in the organisms.

Thus consuming the beta carotene-rich fruits and vegetables like carrot, onion, spinach and others can be converted into the vitamin A called retinol form which can perform several functions in the body like increases eyesight.

Thus, eating carrots can improve the eyesight of the person.
