5 BENEFITS OF CARROT JUICE

Spread the love
Carrots are one of the most popular, versatile vegetables in the world!
Whether they are eaten raw, cooked or juiced, people from nearly every culture
have consumed carrots — in their many forms — throughout history. Carrots get
their color from antioxidants called carotenoids. One of these carotenoids is
beta carotene, a precursor to active vitamin A that is responsible for many of
the carrot and carrot juice benefits that we know about today. Many studies
have shown that beta carotene is crucial for improving immunity in the body,
protecting skin and eye health, and fighting free radical damage that can cause
various forms of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Carrots have a
wealth of valuable nutrition and when you juice them, you can get a
concentrated dose of their healing power. From balancing blood sugar, improving
blood health, relieving congestion, fighting inflammation and cleansing the
kidneys to protecting eyesight, brain function and fighting Leukemia, carrot
juice benefits can help nearly every part of your body! In this article, BOLA
AKINBOADE-BELLO presents to you 5 benefits of carrot juice.

  • Carrot juice is one of the richest sources of Vitamin A. Vitamin A and
    beta-carotene helps maintain vision.

  • Carrots are deep soil root vegetables, and this enables them to absorb an
    abundant array of minerals beneficial to health and healing.

  •  Drinking carrot juice cleanses and helps restore the liver.

  • Carrots are rich in poly-acetylene antioxidant falcarinol. Studies have
    shown carrot falcarinol destroys pre-cancerous cells in tumor. Carrots do help keep
    cancer away.

  • The Beta-carotene in carrots gives our skin a warm glow and is a major
    antioxidant. It also helps maintain epithelial tissue, the tissue surrounding
    internal organs. This tissue is susceptible to cancerous growths.

QUICK TIPS

  • Always buy organic carrots to juice or else you are drinking chemicals with
    your juice.

  • Don’t store the juice, drink it fresh as soon as you have made it.

  • Use sweet baby carrots as older ones contain too much raw starch.

  • Remember juicing should not replace whole foods that contain
    colon-cleansing fiber vital for health.
