Description
Health benefits
Black carrots get their color from anthocyanins. Rich in nutrients, they have some important health benefits, including the ability to treat diseases like Alzheimer's, as well as boost cognition, reduce inflammation, optimize digestion, and prevent some types of cancer.
Treats rheumatoid arthritis
Some of the active ingredients in black carrots have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help reduce the incidence of chronic diseases and the oxidative stress that causes rheumatoid arthritis.
Against cancer
With an incredibly high amount of anthocyanins, black carrots actively fight the development and spread of cancer cells. Their antioxidants help eliminate free radicals and neutralize carcinogenic activity in the body.
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease
The antioxidants present in the root vegetable are known to reduce the deposition of beta amyloid plaques in the brain. This deposition can lead to neural congestion and the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Improves vision
Carrots are known for their beta-carotene content, which is known to directly protect vision health. Acting as an antioxidant, beta-carotene can reduce the risk of macular degeneration and slow the development of cataracts, helping you see better for longer.
They help with digestion, control high cholesterol and diabetes
Carrots are extremely rich in dietary fiber, which is essential for a healthy digestive system. Dietary fiber helps stimulate peristaltic movement and improve nutrient absorption in the intestine.
Additionally, fiber helps reduce cholesterol levels and regulates the release of insulin and glucose in the body, which is good news for diabetics.
