Carrots (Daucus carota) are nutrient-dense root vegetables with numerous health benefits. These crunchy, sweet, and tasty roots are rich in antioxidants, fiber, beta-carotene, vitamins, and minerals. These roots are available in orange, red, and yellow pigments.
Vitamin A, in recommended quantities, is essential for good vision, and carrots offer the nutrient in abundance. If a person is deprived of vitamin A for too long, the outer segments of the eyes’ photoreceptors begin to deteriorate. Carrot juice contains lutein, a powerful antioxidant. Studies link it to a reduced risk of macular degeneration.
Carrots are rich in carotenoids. Research suggests that fruits and vegetables rich in these compounds can offer photoprotective benefits. They also appear to contribute to normal human skin color.
The beta-carotene in the juice possesses healing properties. It scavenges free radicals and protects the skin’s tissues. The compound also has photoprotective properties.
The fiber in carrot juice may aid weight loss. Research recommends adequate fiber intake to lose excess weight (especially from the abdomen).
Carrot juice is also low in calories. Hence, it makes for a comfortable addition to a weight loss diet.
Intake of fruit and vegetable juices, in general, can reduce heart disease risk. Drinking 16 fluid oz of carrot juice daily also suppresses oxidative degradation of lipids (also called lipid peroxidation), thereby cutting the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Carrot juice, and other juices in general, contain polyphenols and nitrates. These are other bioactive components in the juice that help regulate blood pressure levels.
The fiber in the juice (and other fruit/vegetable juices in general) can promote regularity and boost digestive health. Carrot juice could be a good option for people (and children) with constipation.
The potassium in carrot juice may also help treat diarrhea. Carrot puree can also help in this regard. Diarrhea is a condition in which your body loses large amounts of fluids through stool. Replenishing it with foods rich in potassium could help.
Increased plasma carotenoid concentration can boost the body’s immune system, as per a study.
The study conducted on healthy men focused on how carrot juice could increase plasma carotenoid concentrations, thereby enhancing their immunity levels. Supplementing their low-carotenoid diets with carrot juice made the difference.
