what happens if we drink carrot and beetroot juice daily - #37920
I am really curious about what happens if we drink carrot and beetroot juice daily. I recently got into juicing after hearing about the benefits from a friend. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but I did some research and it sounds amazing! I started mixing carrots and beetroots, and wow, it tastes pretty good too! But here’s the thing. I've been having this juice every morning for about a week now, and I feel like my energy is up, but also kinda off sometimes? Like, I noticed my skin feels a bit different, but not necessarily bad? My digestion feels okay, though sometimes things feel a bit too... umm... rhythmic (if you know what I mean?). I’m mainly looking for a health boost, maybe take care of my skin, too. I remember reading somewhere that drinking carrot and beetroot juice daily could be really good for your liver and maybe even help with detoxing, which sounds awesome! But, what happens if we drink carrot and beetroot juice daily really? Are there any side effects I should worry about? Should I be mixing in anything else to make it more balanced, or is it all good as is? I just don't wanna overdo it or anything. Any thoughts?

Doctors' responses
Drinking carrot and beetroot juice daily has several potential benefits, but it’s essential to consider balance and moderation. Carrots are known for their high beta-carotene content, which converts to vitamin A in the body, supporting good vision, immune function, and skin health. Beetroots are rich in nitrates, which can improve blood flow and potentially lower blood pressure. They also contain betalains, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may aid in detoxification and liver support.
If you’re noticing changes in your energy levels and skin texture, this could be your body adjusting to the increased vitamins and minerals. The rhythmic digestion you mentioned might be linked to the fiber content in the juice, but also keep an eye on it as sometimes excess juice consumption can cause digestive disturbances due to high sugar content from natural sugar in vegetables.
However, consuming this juice daily could lead to side effects if not moderated. For instance, excess consumption of carrots might cause carotenemia, a condition where the skin turns yellowish due to high levels of beta-carotene. Similarly, overconsumption of beetroot juice could interfere with calcium absorption due to its oxalate content, potentially affecting kidney function over time.
To maintain balance, consider blending the juice with other ingredients like cucumber or a bit of ginger, which are both cooling and can counteract any potential overheating effects. Moreover, you might want to consume this juice in alternation with other juices or on alternate days, ensuring variety and moderation.
Finally, pay attention to any signs of imbalance in your body. Ayurveda emphasizes the balance of doshas – if you notice your digestive fire (agni) becoming too irregular, it might be helpful to incorporate warming spices such as cumin or fennel in your diet or drink to support smoother digestion.
If you’re aiming to enhance overall well-being while using juices, it’s wise to stay attentive to how your body responds and adjust accordingly. If any symptoms worsen or you experience discomfort, it’s advisable to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider to ensure that your juice intake is aligned with your specific constitutional needs.
