Carrots are a healthy source of carbohydrates and fiber while being low in fat, protein, and sodium. Carrots are high in vitamin A and contain good amounts of other nutrients like vitamin K, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and folate. Carrots are also a good source of antioxidants.
Antioxidants are nutrients present in plant-based foods. They help the body remove free radicals — unstable molecules that can cause cell damage if too many accumulate in the body. Free radicals result from natural processes and environmental pressures. The body can eliminate many free radicals naturally, but dietary antioxidants can help, especially when the oxidant load is high.
Carotene in carrot is the main source of vitamin A, and vitamin A can promote growth, prevent bacterial infection, and protect epidermal tissue, respiratory tract, digestive tract, urinary system and other epithelial cells. Lack of vitamin A will cause conjunctival xerosis, night blindness, cataract, etc., as well as atrophy of muscles and internal organs, genital degeneration and other diseases. For the average adult, daily intake of vitamin A reaches 2200 international units, in order to maintain normal life activities. It has the function of preventing cancer, which is mainly attributed to the fact that carotene can be converted into vitamin A in human body.
