This vegetable is known for its notable contribution in vitamin A, it is particularly rich in beta-carotene, a micro nutrient that is converted into this vitamin with functions such as the formation of visual retina pigments, the maintenance of cells that cover skin, eyes, mouth and internal organs.

Likewise, beta-carotene supply antioxidant properties that help care for skin, and help prevent ageing, certain types of cancer (like lung cancer, leukaemia and prostate cancer) and favour an even skin tanning. Anti oxidants may also play a role in regulating blood sugar levels.

The carrot is cleansing thanks to its fibre content, which draws toxins from your body and also regulates intestinal transit. High fibre foods also prevent constipation and colorectal cancer.

Remember how your mother used to say to eat your carrots because they're good for your eyes? Some studies have found that there may be some truth to that. Vitamin A deficiencies can lead to reduced vision and the beta-carotene in carrots replenish the deficiency, leading to improved vision.

Also, the carrot is diuretic, its high water content helping remove kidney stones; and it is in turn highly satiating due to its high fibre and water.

Also noteworthy is that it is rich in phosphorus, so that it becomes invigorating, useful for tired minds and as a restorer of nerves.
