It is well established that carrots are a healthy food. They contain many important nutrients - beta-carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, and the minerals calcium, phosphorous, potassium and sodium- plus other phytochemicals, such as alpha carotene. Of all of these, it is beta-carotene that traditionally has received the most attention. Beta-carotene is acknowledged as a powerfully in the immune system's fight against disease. This makes it a great substance for those concerned about maintaining their health.Beta-carotene is much more than the compound our bodies use to manufacture vitamin A. It works together with vitamin A to bolster the immune system; in fact, recent tests have shown that beta-carotene increases natural killer cells in the elderly.
Natural killer cell activity has been postulated to be an immunologic link between beta-carotene and cancer prevention. Beta-carotene is also a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants fight free radicals and help prevent them from causing membrane damage, DNA mutation, and lipid (fat) oxidation, all of which may lead to may of the diseases that we consider "degenerative."
Carrots, and fresh fruit and vegetable juices in general, also are rich in enzymes. Enzymes spark the hundreds of thousands of chemical reactions that occur throughout the body; they are essential for the digestion and absorption of food, for the conversion of foodstuffs into body tissue, and for the production of energy at the cellular level.
In fact, enzymes are essential for most of the building and rebuilding that goes on in our bodies every day. Without enzymes, and the sparks they provide, we would be helpless: a bag of bones, unable to walk, talk, blink, or breathe. When foods are cooked enzymes can be destroyed; that's why raw foods and juices are so important to us. They provide us with an excellent source of all-important enzymes.
