The role of carrots:

1. Good for health and longevity.

Carrots have the functions of eliminating phlegm, promoting digestion, relieving flatulence and relieving asthma. The related experimental results show that α -carotene in carrots has 0/0 times the inhibitory effect on tumor cells as β-carotene, and it is also very powerful in preventing abnormal changes of DNA. As early as ten years ago, it was found that the higher the concentration of α -carotene in blood, the lower the risk of heart disease. According to the 14-year follow-up survey conducted by researchers from the centers for disease control and prevention in the United States, it was found that people with higher levels of α -carotene in their blood lived longer.

The food with the highest content of α -carotene is carrot. The content of α -carotene in pumpkin, orange and citrus is also high. α -carotene is not afraid of high temperature cooking. Cooking carrots with broth, as long as you drink soup, will not cause obvious loss of α -carotene On the contrary, cooked food is more conducive to the absorption of various carotenoids, as long as a small amount of oil can achieve full absorption.

4. Prevent arteriosclerosis, lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease.

Quercetin and kaempferol contained in carotene can increase coronary blood flow, reduce blood lipid and promote the synthesis of adrenaline, thus having the functions of lowering blood pressure and strengthening heart. Carrots contain potassium succinate, which helps to prevent arteriosclerosis, lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure. Folic acid in carrots can reduce the risk factors of coronary heart disease. After drinking carrot juice, people with hypertension have a good antihypertensive effect. People who eat more carrots are almost 50% less likely to suffer from heart disease than those who eat less carrots.
