How Carrot is beneficial to us?
Disease- fighting capacity:- Beta carotene augments the functioning of the macrophages & killer T cells. These cells help remove harmful micro-organisms from the body.
Anti-cancer:- Various studies have shown the protective effect of carrots in the development of cancer particularly mouth & lung cancer.
Eye-protection:- The onset of cataract can be delayed by frequent consumption of carrots.

Of course carrots are good for us! That's why there are carrots--because they're good for you. I know that studies are published all the time saying this and that about all kinds of foods, but you can't always listen to those findings.

Eye health is what I've always heard that carrots are good for. Plus, in my opinion, carrots are one of the few vegetable that actually taste good with have to cook/enhance them.

It really helps you having a 20/20 vision. Some students used to eat carrots and squash 1week before exams lol to clear up their vision in copying haha.

I dunno how true it is, but my mom always tells me carrots are good for our eyes. Maybe I should have eaten more of them because I ended up needing glasses
