Carrotmaxxing: The New Beauty Trend with Health Risks

Carrotmaxxing: The New Beauty Trend with Health Risks

Carrotmaxxing is a new trend where people eat lots of carrots to get a tan.

Some people are doing this on social media.

Carrots are healthy in small amounts, good for your eyes and immune system.

But eating too many carrots can turn your skin orange.

This is called carotenemia, and it's from too much beta-carotene, which colors the carrots.

Though usually harmless, it can be serious if you eat canned carrots which can cause high sodium intake.

One person went to the hospital because of eating too many canned carrots.

It's important to be careful and research before trying new health trends.
