Food and Health Awareness | Carrots are Way Much More than Simple Vegetable

in food •  7 years ago  (edited)

Carrots are the most popular vegetables in the world because they are fairly easy to grow and they are very adaptable to many cultural dishes. They are scientifically classified as Daucus carota and classified as root vegetables. Carrots have different colors like orange, purple, white, yellow and red. The main root of carrots is a part of the most consumed vegetables, although vegetables are always beneficial for salads and other forms.

Nutritional Aspects of Carrots

Prevent Heart Diseases

In a study to reveal the therapeutic value of carrots, researchers at the Wolfson Gastrointestinal Laboratory in Edinburgh, Scotland, found that if 7 ounces of raw carrots were consumed weekly for three weeks, cholesterol levels decreased on average by 11%.

Lower Blood Pressure

These are abundant sources of potassium, it is a vasodilator that can relieve the tension of blood vessels and arteries, thus increasing blood circulation and blood circulation, promoting the function of systemic organs and reducing pressure on the cardiovascular system.

Enhance Immunity

Carrots are a rich source of Ascorbic Acid, which stimulates leukocyte activity and is one of the most imperative elements in the body's immune system.

Prevent Cancer

The consumption of beta-carotene is associated with a reduced risk of several cancers, especially lung cancer. British researchers have found that increasing beta-carotene intake from 1.7 to 2.7 milligrams a day reduces the risk of lung cancer by more than 40%. The normal carrot contains nearby 3 mg of beta-carotene.

Improve Eyesight

Vitamin A deficiency may cause difficulties in night vision. Because carrots are rich in vitamin A, they help improve vision and prevent diseases such as night blindness as you get older.

Reduce the Risk of Stroke

Eating carrots every day can reduce the risk of stroke by 68%. Many studies have reinforced the belief in the "carrot effect" of the brain.

Hola @cryptokraze
Cientifícamente conocida como Daucus carota .
En mí país se toma el "Tres en Uno". Se prepara Jugo de Naranja, Remolacha y Zanahoria y Miel o Azúcar.
Ingredientes:
1 litro de jugo de naranja natural.
1 zanahoria mediana.
1 remolacha mediana.
1 cucharadita de miel o azúcar (opcional)
Esta bebida es genial, rica, nutritiva y repotenciadora.
Imaginemos las propiedades de cada una de las frutas y la Miel.
Y todas juntas ¿Que tal?
Saludos y Gracias.

I like carrots. It is great tase.

nice

Today the theme seems to be around Vitamin A! lol.

And what a powerful vitamin for vision. I agree. The traditional orange colored carrots are the best though, i read somewhere.

Apparently their bright color comes from beta-carotene, an antioxidant that is ultimately converted to vitamin A in ones body.

Thanks for the information.

Now I know why I love carrots so much....

excellent post .continue

its not that great...

Gotta agree with ya here. Copy and paste a few facts, pull a few pictures and let the coins roll in. This could be done for every plant food but it doesn't really provide much of a perspective. I'm sharing lots of personal insights on my page about health, food and spirituality if you're interested in that style of writing.

perhaps carrots can lower cholesterol and thereby protect against ischemic stroke, but it will not protect the hemorrhagic stroke accurately. And on the remaining points of your post, I would like to argue. Do you have medical education?

let's rush to the carrots :)

Very nice picture

i think they just stolen.....

What is wrong with you? Common sense, no? Do you not see links and image sources below the post?

Thank you for this information. I love this vegetable but didn't know of other health benefits besides promotion of vision.

There's a myriad of benefits with this vibrant vegetable. Deep color in plants is an indicator of more antioxidants : ) If you enjoyed this article, you may like my page too!

I look up to Dr. Norman Walker a lot and though he has some quirks (don't we all : )) he saw the powerful healing potential of carrots. As the story goes, he was shredding some for patient and notices the juices coming out and accumulating on the cutting board. He knew those juices are what he really wanted and went on to create the Norwalk juice press, which began vegetable juicing as we know it today. Carrots are a profound blessing.

Very useful post! Thanks for sharing!
