It consists of beta- carotene, fibre, antioxidants, calcium and several vitamins and minerals. It assists in losing weight, smooth digestion and maintains the health of your skin and eyes as well. What we are not aware of is the benefits it has for the heart.
Beta- carotene gives the carrot the red colour and when mixed with diet it gets converted into vitamin A. This conversion, as per studies, reduces the level of bas cholesterol in the blood. It prevents atherosclerosis development, which is a major heart related threat in the world. It is basically the accumulation of fats and cholesterol in the arteries. Extensive study has been done on the matter and it proves this. DNA samples of 767 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 25 were taken and the enzyme was responsible for conversion of beta- carotene to vitamin A and that had a link to the cholesterol level. People will less active enzyme had high level of cholesterol and vice versa. Long term effects of this also were positive.
