Summary: Enjoy carrots in these 8 healthy recipes that will make your taste buds happy.
I remember being told as a kid that eating carrots helps your eyesight, but since I had never needed glasses I ignored this advice. Although it’s true that carrots contain beta-carotene, which can help restore vision due to a Vitamin A deficiency, they do a lot more than that to keep our bodies healthy.
Considerable research suggests that foods rich in carotenoids have anti-cancer effects, as their antioxidants reduce free radicals in the body. Additionally, the phytochemicals and antioxidants in carrots may help with blood sugar regulation, improve immune function, and help delay the effects of aging.
So now that you know you should eat more carrots, how do you get started? Here are eight delicious recipes to include in your weekly diet.
