                                      Benefits of Carrots

1.  Improves vision

Western culture’s  understanding of carrots being “good for the eyes” is one of the few we got right.

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the liver. Vitamin A is

 transformed in the retina, to rhodopsin, a purple pigment necessary for night vision.

Beta-carotene has also been shown to protect against macular degeneration and senile cataracts.

A study found that people who eat the most beta-carotene had 40 percent lower risk of macular

degeneration than those who consumed little.

2.  Helps prevent cancer

Studies have shown carrots reduce the risk of lung cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer. 

Researchers have just discovered falcarinol and falcarindiol which they feel cause the anticancer properties.

Falcarinol is a natural pesticide produced by the carrot that protects its roots from fungal diseases. 

Carrots are one of the only common sources of this compound. A study showed 1/3 

lower cancer risk by carrot-eating mice.

3.  Slows down aging 

The high level of beta-carotene acts as an antioxidant to cell damage done to the body through

 regular metabolism.  It help slows down the aging of cells.

4.  Promotes healthier skin 

Vitamin A and antioxidants protects the skin from sun damage. Deficiencies of vitamin A cause 

dryness to the skin, hair and nails. Vitamin A prevents premature wrinkling, acne, dry skin,

 pigmentation, blemishes, and uneven skin tone.

5.  Helps prevent infection 

Carrots are known by herbalists to prevent infection. They can be used on cuts – shredded raw or

 boiled and mashed.

6.  Promotes healthier skin (from the outside) 

Carrots are used as an inexpensive and very convenient facial mask.  Just mix grated carrot with a 

bit of honey. See the full recipe here: carrot face mask.

7.  Prevents heart disease

Studies show that diets high in carotenoids are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.  

Carrots have not only beta-carotene but also alpha-carotene and lutein.

The regular consumption of carrots also reduces cholesterol levels because the soluble fibers in 

carrots bind with bile acids.

8.  Cleanses the body 

Vitamin A assists the liver in flushing out the toxins from the body. It reduces the bile and fat in the liver. 

The fibers present in carrots help clean out the colon and hasten waste movement.

9.  Protects teeth and gums

It’s all in the crunch! Carrots clean your teeth and mouth. They scrape off plaque and food 

particles just like toothbrushes or toothpaste.  Carrots stimulate gums and  trigger a lot of saliva,

which being alkaline, balances out the acid-forming, cavity-forming bacteria.  The minerals in 

carrots prevent tooth damage.

10.  Prevents stroke

From all the above benefits it is no surprise that in a Harvard University study, people who

ate more than six carrots a week are less likely to suffer a stroke than those who ate only one 

carrot a month or less
