Carrots to Decrease Night Blindness?

But is there any truth to it?

Actually.. There is.

Because night blindness or a lack of being able to adjust to dim or dark lighting is caused by a lack of Vitamin A, eating just one of this vegetable every couple of days can increase the nutrient in the body just enough.

But did you know..

That the absolute best way to get the nutrients is to include it in a meal with fats? And that cooking is the best way to have the nutrients released from the rabbits food so that the body can break it down for best absorption.

Yup, Fat. But!!

Don't get crazy with the fats. Just because you need a little does not mean to add a whooping 3 scoop fulls. Check out the Canada Food Guide for their recommended servings on fats for the best information on how to incorporate it properly into your life here.

But really, less then a teaspoon would be plenty.
