Carrots are one of the amazing blessings of nature. They contain loads of nutrients, and minerals while also being super tasty. It is well known that the juice we extract from carrots is very nutritious in so many ways. It can be a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and provitamin A, among other things. Moreover, the health benefits of carrot juice include skin and eye health, boosting immunity, and more. Below are just a few of the interesting benefits of carrot juice:

Health Benefits of Carrot Juice: 

We grow several varieties of organic carrots right on our farm.

Eye Health: 

Carrot juice is known for having a high amount of nutrients that are good for your eyes. For instance, one cup (250 ml) packs more than 250% of the DV for vitamin A. It is in the form of provitamin A carotenoids, such as beta carotene. Vitamin A is said to be very good for eye health. Many studies link the intake of vegetables and fruits containing provitamin A with a reduced risk of blindness.

Did you know? Carrot juice is known for being a great source of zeaxanthin and lutein. These are two carotenoids that accumulate in our eyes and protect them from harmful light. Taking them in a high amount may reduce the eye issues like age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Immunity: 

Another benefit of carrot juice is that it may help in boosting immunity. The reason behind this is that carrot juice contains vitamin A as well as C. They can act as antioxidants to shield immune cells from free radical damage. In addition, carrot juice is known for being enriched in vitamin B6. It can provide more than 30% of the DIV in a single cup (240 ml). 

Vitamin B6 is also necessary for an optimal immune response. Additionally, its deficiency is associated with weakened immunity. 

Anti-Cancer Effects:

According to test-tube studies, some compounds found in carrot juice may shield against cancer. In particular, these compounds include beta carotene, polyacetylene, and lutein. They are found in carrot juice extract and can be effective against human leukemia cells. The study revealed that the death of cancer cells was caused by treating them with carrot juice. In addition, the cell growth cycle was also stopped as a result of treatment with carrot juice extracts. 

Our Wake Up juice contains 1/3 pure organic carrot juice.

Blood Sugar Control: 

Drinking carrot juice in small amounts may also help in lowering blood sugar levels. Research in rats that have type 2 diabetes found that carrot juice reduces blood sugar. It contains probiotics, which can affect gut bacteria linked with diabetes. What’s more, the same study revealed that purple carrot juice might help boost blood sugar control. It is because purple carrot juice contains anthocyanin pigments that have anti-inflammatory effects. 

Carrot juice is known for having a low glycemic index (GI). GI refers to a measure of how much a particular food can increase blood sugar levels. Foods and beverages with low glycemic content can be helpful in improving blood sugar management for diabetics.

Heart Health: 

Another one of the health benefits of carrot juice is the reduced risk factors for heart disease because it is enriched in potassium.  Potassium is a mineral that can be helpful in the proper regulation of blood pressure. It has been shown that a diet high in potassium can protect against stroke and high blood pressure. 

Furthermore, carrot juice contains antioxidant compounds that may be beneficial for the heart. This area needs further research to confirm the effects of carrot juice on our heart’s health. In a nutshell, antioxidants and potassium found in carrot juice may be helpful in reducing blood pressure.

Protecting the Liver: 

Carrot juice contains carotenoids that are thought to be key in promoting liver  health. According to one study, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of carotenoids may be beneficial in this effort. It can be helpful in protecting against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which can occur when fat ends up accumulating on the liver due to obesity, excess weight, or poor diet. 

We offer several carrot blends that are packed with goodness.

Final Verdict: 

Despite needing more research in this field, carrot juice has already been shown to be a very healthy beverage choice. It provides vitamin A, C, and K and is incredibly nutritious. Other confirmed health benefits of carrot juice include affecting the immune system, eye health, and skin health. Further research will be helpful in clarifying the benefits in even more areas and we look forward to sharing those with you as they become available.
