-

GOOD EVENING NDI OMA NDI OMA.

Hope Unah well ooo🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Welcome to today's edition where you will know the essence of carrots in your fried rice which is more than aesthetic purpose.

CARROTS

Carrots are excellent sources of nutrients like potassium, antioxidants, and Vitamine A  among many others. Beta-carotene of carotenoid, is the nutrient that turns carrots orange and also promotes good health. It converts to vitamin A when consumed in foods and gives other fruits and vegetables their yellow or orange color. 

NUMEROUS BENEFITS OF CARROTS

1. Eye Health.

Vitamin A, which is plentiful in carrots, is crucial to ongoing eye health. Some studies have linked low levels of vitamin A with a greater risk of night blindness.

2.  Lower Cancer Risk

Carotenoids can help your body protect against several types of cancers. One study showed that a diet rich in beta carotene may help men protect against prostate cancer. Another study suggested that the plant compound lutein which is found in carrots, may reduce the risk of colon cancer when incorporated into the diet.

A different study indicated that high intakes of vitamin A may reduce the risk of stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer.

3.  Weight Loss

Carrots have very few calories per serving. They can help you feel full so you will not eat as much, reducing calorie intake overall and supporting weight loss and a healthy diet. The increased feelings of fullness occur largely because carrots are a great source of fiber.

4.  Lower Cholesterol

Studies have also linked the intake of carrots with lowering cholesterol when incorporated into the diet . 

5.  Reach in Nutrients

One serving of fresh, grated carrots (half a cup) provides the following nutritional facts:

  • Calories: 23 
  • Total fat: 0g
  • Cholesterol: 0mg
  • Sodium: 38mg
  • Total Carbohydrates: 5g
  • Dietary fiber: 2g
  • Sugars: 3g
  • Protein: 1g
