Ginger and carrot can improve your health in many ways.
Carrots
Carrots have been used across many cultures for centuries in the form of soups and juices due to their natural sweetness and health properties. Some other important benefits of consuming carrots are:
- Carrots are a good source of carotenoids, namely, beta-carotene, which is the pro-vitamin form of vitamin A and the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin.
- Carotenoids have been associated with immune-boosting effects and a lower risk of certain degenerative diseases.
- Carrots may promote skin health, as beta-carotene exhibits moderate UV protection, which may help prevent sunburns.
- The beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin in carrots are also beneficial for eye health.
- Carrot intake is likely to be associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers and improved cardiac health. However, there is a need for further conclusive research.
- Carrots are a source of many other nutrients, including potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, and fiber. They are also naturally low in sodium, calories, and fat.
- Sea salt (optional)
