Vitamin A

Well, this is my first review about healthy living. Actually I really want to apply the healthy living in my lifestyle, but as you know it’s really hard to do that, yesss so many things that tease me, such as an ice cream, fried fries, fried duck ( almost a week I consume it -_- *gosh it’s not good for my health*) and so on.

Carrot? It reminds me with my alvero, hoho who is alvero? Alvero is my hunny bunny rabbit, he likes carrot so much.. now, I have to love carrot as he like it :D

You can consume juice carrot every two days, it will help you so much, especially to reduce minus in your glasses as like me hehe. If you didn’t like with the smell and taste from carrot, you can add or mix it with apples, tomatoes, orange or any fruit which you have. Try it, it will be healthy tasty refreshing carrot juice.
