Here are 10 of the amazing health benefits of Carrots:

1. Improved 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 had40 percent lower risk of
macular degeneration than those who consumed little.

2. Cancer Prevention: 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 anti-
cancer 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. Anti-aging: The high levels beta-carotene act as an antioxidant
to cell damage done to the body through regular metabolism. It helps
to slow down the ageing of cells.

4. Healthy Glowing Skin (from the inside): Vitamin A and antioxidants
protect the skin from sun damage. Deficiencies of vitamin A cause
dryness to the skin, hair and nails. Vitamin prevents premature
wrinkling, acne, dry skin, pigmentation, blemishes, uneven skin tone.

5. A Powerful Antiseptic: Known by herbalists to prevent infection.
They can be used on cuts shredded raw or boiled and mashed.

6. Beautiful 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 full recipe at carrot facemask.

7. Prevent 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 binding with bile acids.

8. Cleanse 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. Healthy 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 is alkaline, balances out the acid
forming, the cavity-forming bacteria. The minerals in carrots prevent
tooth damage.

10. Prevent Stroke: From all the above benefits it is no surprise that 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 more.
