Carrots, those beautiful orange vegetables! Carrots are probably one of the first vegetables we ate as children. Though orange carrots are the most common variety, they do come in several other colors. And of course depending on their color, their actual nutritional content does vary. But all in all, carrots are one of the healthiest vegetables to include in our daily diet.

Many people know carrots as the most reliable source of Vitamin A and they are right! Though, there is much more to them than just vitamin A. For instance, did you know that carrots can prevent cancer and can be used as an anti-aging tool? Carrots provide many health benefits and it is quite crucial to include them as much as possible in your daily diet.

Here are some ways in which carrots can provide our body with required nutrition and help our body to heal:

Improve vision health 
Are carrots really good for the eyes? Sure they are and it is because of a compound found within them known as beta-carotene. Beta Carotene is then converted to vitamin A which is eventually transformed to rhodopsin in the retina. Rhodopsin helps in improving an individual’s night vision. Beta-carotene also helps in minimizing the chances of macular degeneration.

Prevent certain cancers 
Carrots can keep you from getting some types of cancer! Research shows that having carrots as part of one’s diet, reduces the risk of getting colon cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer. The anti-cancer properties in carrots are due to two compounds, falcarindiol and falcarinol.

Improve skin health
One of the benefits of vitamin A is that it has the capacity to protect our skin from sun damage. If a person lacks this vitamin, their skin will be dry and this may lead to premature wrinkles. Intake of carrots prevents all this and also ensures that the skin is acne free, smooth, healthy and is free from blemishes. Carrots therefore helps to maintain one’s skin tone and assist in improving overall skin health.

Works as an anti-aging agent
Do you want to look younger? Eat carrots! The beta-carotene compound found in carrots will act as an antioxidant and effectively regulate metabolism. While doing this, the aging process of the cells will be slowed, making you look younger for longer.

Can be used as an antiseptic
When applied externally on cuts, carrots can effectively prevent it from getting infected. For such antiseptic use, you can shred the carrot, boil it or smash it and apply on the cut area.

In addition to all this there are several other benefits to eating carrots. There are many more ways in which carrots can heal our bodies and protect us from harmful pathogens. For instance, intake of carrots can prevent heart related diseases, cleanse the body off toxins, ensure healthy teeth and gums and also prevent stroke! ​

For this reason, try as much as you can to include carrots in your daily diet.
