Description
Carrots have a wealth of antioxidants and offer many health benefits:
They’re good for your eyes – This is probably the best-known carrot superpower. They’re rich in beta-carotene, a compound your body changes into vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes healthy. And beta-carotene helps protect your eyes from the sun and lowers your chances of cataracts and other eye problems.
They boost your immune system – The vitamin C in carrots helps your body build antibodies that defend your immune system. Vitamin C also helps your body take in and use iron and prevent infections.
They can help with constipation – If you’re having trouble going to the bathroom, try munching on some raw carrots. With their high fiber content, they can help ease constipation and keep you regular.
They can strengthen your bones – Carrots have calcium and vitamin K, both of which are important for bone health.
Carrots may not be the most glamorous vegetable but they are nothing but a versatile one. Try them glazed, roasted, soups, salads and pureed. It is also the main ingredient in carrot cake, carrot bread, carrot jams and carrot cookies.
