                 Health Benefits of Carrots

Carrots
Carrots are  rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Evidence suggests that eating more antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, can help reduce the risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Carrots contain beta-carotene. Past studies have concluded that beta-carotene supplementation may reduce the risk of lung cancer.
A meta-analysis published in 2008 found that people with a high intake of a variety of carotenoids had a 21 percent lower risk of lung cancer. Eating large quantities of carrots doesn't put you at risk of vitamin A overload because your body only converts beta carotene as needed. However, having large amounts of carotene in your blood can cause carotenemia, or yellowish discoloration of the skin.
carrots are high in beta-carotene, which then has to be converted to vitamin A in the body. ... Aim for one medium-sized raw carrot per day, and remember, don't cook it and don't juice it. You can just eat it whole and peeled—or try the simple carrot salad. Some Health Benefits of Carrots
