By combining these three ingredients in a juice, you create a potent blend that provides a variety of vitamins, antioxidants, and nutrients that are beneficial for maintaining healthy vision and preventing age-related eye conditions. Consuming this juice regularly as part of a balanced diet can have a positive effect on overall eye health.
Now, let’s talk about how this juice might benefit your eye health:
Carrots: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that is essential for eye health. Vitamin A helps maintain good vision, especially in low-light conditions, and also plays a role in preventing age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
Blueberries: Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which are beneficial for eye health. These antioxidants help protect the eyes from oxidative stress and inflammation, which can contribute to conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
Plums: Plums are a good source of vitamin C, another powerful antioxidant that supports eye health. Vitamin C helps maintain the health of blood vessels in the eyes and may reduce the risk of developing cataracts.
Happy juicing!

Health benefits
carrot
Carrots are known in the juicing world as the 'cancer-fighting king' of the vegetable world. They contain antioxidants such as alpha-carotene, lutein, beta-carotene and lycopene, among others. Beta-carotene is a key nutrient when it comes to cancer prevention properties. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A. Beta-carotene is believed to destroy the protective mucus membrane around cancer cells.
Carrot juice is also an effective natural remedy for stomach ulcers. When carrots are juiced, they contain a higher concentration of antiseptic phytochemicals that inhibit the growth of unfriendly microorganisms in the gut.
Plum
Plums are rich in minerals such as iron, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, which are essential for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function.
The magnesium in plums acts as a natural sedative, which can relieve stress and also helps induce natural REM sleep.
Plums are especially beneficial for digestive disorders such as IBS, gastritis, and constipation.
Plums, like apples and strawberries, are rich in malic acid, which binds to heavy metals in the brain. Heavy metals have been linked to memory loss, Alzheimer's, and dementia.
Malic acid together with quinic acid contribute to the organic acid content in plum juice without ripe plums.
Some of the benefits of eating plums regularly include improved vision, clearer skin, stronger brain function, regulated digestion, reduced inflammation, increased resistance to colds and infections, and improved metabolism.
blueberry
The most interesting health benefit of fresh blueberries is that they can help reverse short-term memory loss that occurs as we age.
It also acts as an unusual type of probiotic by blocking the adhesion of bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. It has chemicals that help reduce diarrhea and is also antiviral and high in natural compounds.
