Imagine a simple drink that not only tastes refreshing but also offers remarkable anti-aging benefits. Inspired by a 107-year-old who swears by this daily ritual, this carrot-based beverage is packed with nutrients essential for longevity and vitality. Here’s how to prepare this anti-aging carrot drink that can be a delightful addition to your daily routine.
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 1 small piece of ginger (about 1 inch)
- 1 apple (optional, for added sweetness and flavor)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
- A pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil (for healthy fats)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the carrots and apple thoroughly. Peel the ginger. If you prefer a smoother juice, you can also peel the carrots and apple.
Juicing
Use a juicer to extract the juice from the carrots, apple, and ginger. If you don’t have a juicer, you can chop these ingredients and blend them with a little water, then strain the mixture to obtain the juice.
Enhance the Flavors and Nutrients
Pour the freshly extracted juice into a large glass. Add the lemon juice, turmeric powder, and a pinch of black pepper. These ingredients not only enhance the flavor but also increase the drink’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Add Healthy Fats
Stir in a tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil. This not only adds a smooth texture but also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Mix Well
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
Serve Fresh
Drink immediately to enjoy the maximum health benefits. Fresh juice can lose its potent nutrients if stored for too long.

Parent’s devastating decision – forced to pull the plug on 13-year-old daughter after sleepover horror
Devastated parents forced to pull the plug on their 13-year-old daughter after sleepover horror. They’ve now issued a warning to spare others from the same tragedy.
When Esra Haynes died, she was just 13 years old, and the reason for her tragic death is bizarre.
This young girl who was referred to as “determined, fun, cheeky and talented” by the Montrose Football Netball Club that she co-captained, got caught in a viral craze called chrominghttps://comsoftvn.com/in-order-to-pick…a-tiny-stray-dog/, which involves inhaling toxic chemicals through the mouth or nose to get high.
Esra was an athlete and lead a healthy life, racing BMX bikes with her brothers, and leading her team to a national aerobics’ championship in Queensland. But all that was taken away from her after a wrong decision she made on March 31 during a sleepover at a friend’s house.

As she wanted to be part of the viral trend, Esra inhaled a toxic amount of aerosol deodorant and went into cardiac arrest, sustaining irreparable brain damage.
Her parents were devastated. Appearing on A Current Affair with host Ally Langdon, they spoke of the heartbreak and the fatal consequences of inhaling toxic chemicals in an attempt to prevent something similar from happening to other naive young people.
“It was just the regular routine of going to hang out with her mates,” her mom Andrea, told Langdon in the interview. Her father Paul added, “We always knew where she was and we knew who she was with.
It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary…To get this phone call at that time of night, (it) was one of the calls no parent ever wants to have to receive, and we unfortunately got that call: ‘Come and get your daughter.’”
Initially, her friends weren’t aware how serious Esra’s condition was. They only thought she was having a panic attack, not aware that their friends was dying right in front of their eyes. “But after inhaling deodorant, her body was actually starting to shut down, she was in cardiac arrest and no one at the sleepover used cardiac arrest,” Langdon explained.
When her mom arrived by Esra’s side, paramedics were trying to revive her and told Andrea that her daughter had been chroming, a word that the scared mother heard for the first time ever.
Esra was transferred to the hospital and was placed on life support, but just eight hours later, the parents were told that her brain was damaged beyond repair and that needed to make a decision to turn the life support off.
Knowing there was nothing that could be done, Andrea and Paul called relatives and family members to say their final goodbyes. “It was a very, very difficult thing to do to such a young soul. She was put onto a bed so we could lay with her. We cuddled her until the end.”
Esra’s siblings, Imogen, Seth and Charlie are have been shattered ever since their sister is gone.
“It was really devastating, devastating for everyone involved, all her friends as well,” Paul said. “It’s been the most difficult, traumatic time any parent could go through. We haven’t been sleeping, we’ve hardly been eating, we haven’t been smiling–we’re not ourselves…But it’s not just affected us, it’s the community as well.”
Following Esra’s passing, Andrea and Paul are doing all in their power to put an end to the crazy viral craze that took their daughter’s life.
Speaking to 7 News, Paul said he wished he knew of chroming when Esra was still alive, so he could have warned her of the dangers: “If we were educated and the word had been put out there, we would have had the discussion around our kitchen table for sure.
“We need to ramp it up and let these kids find out the information first-hand, and not through friends, and not through social media–then they’re given the right advice off the bat.”
Esra isn’t the first victim of chroming. Over the years, a number of young people lost their lives from the consequences of it as it can easily lead to seizures, heart attack, suffocation, sudden sniffing death, coma, and organ failure.
“We’ve got the pictures in our mind which will never be erased, you know, of what we were confronted with,” Paul told Langdon. “Our gut was ripped out.”
We are so very sorry for this family’s loss and we wish no parent ever experiences such heartbreak.
