How to Improve Night Vision
All of us can improve our night vision and it doesn't require much time or expense. Carrots are an extraordinarily effective method to help do just that.
Instructions
-
Make or Buy 100% Carrot Juice
-
1
Check your juicer's instructions to make sure it will indeed extract juice from carrots. Not all juicers are powerful enough to juice carrots.
-
2
Use one very large carrot (peeling first is not necessary) in your juicer or two medium carrots to produce about an ounce and a half or two ounces of fresh carrot juice--all that is needed for the day. Drinking more than two ounces is absolutely fine and is your choice, although it will not speed up the process. You can always refridgerate it (for a day or two) also.

3
Purchase pure carrot juice from a health food store or a regular grocery store, if you do not have a juice extractor. The cartons are always refrigerated and dated for freshness.
-
4
Enjoy sipping your glass of refreshing carrot juice.

5
Take note of how your night vision (and perhaps your day vision) improves during the week. It may take a few days but you'll be pleasantly surprised! Keep a journal of changes and differences.

Tips & Warnings
Drinking carrot juice in the morning will give you lots of energy throughout the day.
Keep a dated journal of your experiences once you start your carrot juice and/or head and neck exercises. This will let you know how long it takes for you and the improvements along the way.
If you choose to drink a large quantity of carrot juice, the beta carotene will turn your skin more orange in color. Some people like this and others do not. It is not harmful and your skin will be restored to its original color in a few days when you stop drinking carrot juice (or drink less amounts).
Frozen carrot juice can be found in some health food stores and it actually tastes homemade.
Taking too much vitamin A is toxic. However, drinking too much carrot juice is not toxic, although it has vitamin A. Carrot juice contains vitamin A in the form of beta carotene, which is not toxic when converted to vitamin A, making it safe to consume in large quantities.
Drink your homemade carrot juice either right away or no more than two days in the refrigerator.
If you purchase your carrot juice, check the expiration date on the carton to make sure it isn't outdated.
