What are the benefits of eating carrots for women

Carrots are considered a top-quality vegetable in the West and have a high reputation. In the Netherlands, they are even one of the national dishes. One of the more important reasons why carrots have such a high status is that the nutrients they contain are very rich and comprehensive. They contain almost all the nutrients needed by humans, and some substances will not be destroyed even at high temperatures and are easily absorbed by the human body. So what are the benefits of eating carrots for women? Let’s take a look at it together below.

Carrot, also known as red carrot, is also known as golden bamboo shoots and clove carrot. It is native to Central Asia and was introduced to my country in the late Yuan Dynasty.

1. Benefit the liver and improve eyesight:

Carrots contain a lot of carotene. The molecular structure of this carotene is equivalent to 2 molecules of vitamin A. After entering the body, 50% of it is converted into vitamin A through the action of enzymes in the liver and small intestinal mucosa. It has the effect of nourishing the liver and improving eyesight, and can treat night blindness.

2. It helps in relieving diaphragm and widening intestines:

Carrots contain plant fiber, which has strong water absorption and easily expands in the intestine. They are the "filling material" in the intestine, which can enhance intestinal peristalsis, thus facilitating bowel movements, preventing cancer and promoting bowel movements.

3. Strengthen the spleen and eliminate malnutrition:

Vitamin A is an essential substance for normal bone growth and development, helps cell proliferation and growth, is an element of body growth, and is of great significance in promoting the growth and development of infants and young children;

4. Enhance immune function:

The conversion of carotene into vitamin A helps enhance the body's immune function and plays an important role in preventing epithelial cell cancer. The lignin in carrots can also improve the body's immune mechanism and indirectly eliminate cancer cells;

5. Reduce blood sugar and lipids:

Carrots also contain hypoglycemic substances and are a good food for diabetics. Some of their ingredients, such as quercetin and kaempferol, can increase coronary blood flow, lower blood lipids, promote the synthesis of adrenaline, and have blood pressure lowering and cardiotonic effects. They are an excellent food therapy for patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease.

In addition to what has been mentioned above, carrots also contain relatively high levels of vitamin A. Vitamin A has many functions, including treating night blindness and dry eyes. It is a natural vitamin, so the effect is very good. Another thing I need to tell you is that vitamin A and carotene are both fat-soluble and water-intolerant, so carrots should be eaten with meat or fried with oil for better absorption.
