Deep dives

Carrots can be a beneficial addition to your diet

Carrots offer numerous health benefits beyond their sweetness and carbohydrate content. Despite having a glycemic index of 72, their high fiber content brings down their glycemic load to 2.8, making them a safe option for those following a ketogenic diet. Carrots are known for improving eyesight due to their beta-carotene content, which is a precursor to vitamin A. Additionally, carrots contain phytonutrients that act as gentle antioxidants. The fiber in carrots also aids in detoxifying estrogen, which can help balance hormone levels. Moreover, carrots have anti-carcinogenic, antiangiogenic, and anti-clotting properties, making them beneficial in fighting cancer and supporting overall health.
