3 (and more)Facts about Carrots

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the
liver converts to vitamin A—an important nutrient
for maintaining healthy eyes.

Eating carrots has been shown to reduce the risk of some types of cancer by as much as a third. The active property, Falcarinol, which also prevents the growth of fungal diseases, is responsible for the vegetable's anti-cancer benefits.

Carrots can help prevent cardiovascular disease, due to their high anti-oxidant properties.

Vitamin A helps the liver secrete bile and flush toxins from the body, aiding a natural detox regime. The high fiber content of carrots also helps to regulate the digestive system.
