9 amazing health benefits of carrot juice

Carrots are loved by many and it’s one of the most popular vegetables in the world that can be cooked, eaten raw – or juiced! You can add carrot to soups, sandwiches, roast dinners, curries – and smoothies.

Never tried carrot juice before? In this article, we bring you nine amazing benefits of carrot juice.

1) Carrot Juice Helps With Digestion: Who hasn’t experienced digestive issues at some point in their life? If you’re experiencing some now, carrot juice can help out. Rich in dietary fibre, carrot juice adds solidity to your stools, ensuring it’s able to pass without issue though your digestive tract.

2) Carrot Juice Promotes Eye Health: Okay, it’s not strictly true that carrots help you see in the dark. But they do promote eye health. It’s because they contain three key nutrients: Lutein, Beta carotene, Zeaxanthin.

3) Carrot Juice Can Slow Down The Ageing Process: Let’s face it, none of us want to get old. However, imagine looking old before your time? For some of us, that’s a reality. The ageing process moves quicker for some than it does for others. Ever noticed how some people look older than their years while others look younger? It’s because the former has an accelerated ageing process.

4) Carrot Juice Reduces The Risk Of Stroke: A stroke is life changing and often comes without much warning. Reduce your risk by consuming more beta-carotene from carrot juice.

5) Carrot Juice Gives Your Skin A Shine: Is your skin not looking as young, healthy and vital as it once did? Sounds like you need some carrot juice! Stuffed with antioxidant and vitamin A, carrot juice is able to protect your skin from nasty UV rays that would otherwise cause wrinkles and dryness.

6) Carrot Juice Reduces Your Risk Of Cancer: Cancer might not be killing as many Americans as heart disease, but it’s still a terrible disease that affects millions of people around the world. There is no magic cure for cancer, and we’re certainly not saying that carrot juice will prevent you from developing it.

7) Carrot Juice Cleans Your Body: We all need to clean our body’s from time to time – yes, even celebrities! Over the years, as you absorb free radicals and toxins from the environment and your food, they build up in your system. And the more they build up, the more your system can’t cope.

8) Carrot Juice Boosts Your Own Immune System: Our immune system is one of those things we rarely think about until it breaks down. And when it does, we start to get serious about our health. Do your immune system a favour by drinking carrot juice and flooding your body with vitamin A, as well as antibacterial and antiseptic properties.

9) Carrot Juice Looks After Your Teeth: Oral health is a big deal, yet so many of us don’t take it seriously until something goes wrong and we have to visit the dentist. Oh no! To make trips to the dentist a lot less scarier, drink carrot juice. It will help to scrape the plaque off your teeth. Carrot juice is also good for your gums.
