Who loves carrots? Honestly I do not know anyone who might not like them –my son is saying ‘ Mama Kaka please’ when he fancy them.
Due to its beautiful orange colour it is a source of amazing anit-oxidant - beta- carotene – it protects us against sun damage and takes care of our beauty! Beta-caroten is also a precursor for vitamin A beta. We need vitamin A for healthy skin and mucus membranes, our immune system, and good eye health and vision.
And another great news about carrots is that they are a source of phytoestrogens – they interact with oestrogen receptors regulating oestrogen level in the body - especially beneficial for women with oestrogen dominance. Therefore phytoestrogens have also a protective effect on breast cancer and endometrial cancer.
Shall we say now ‘one carrot a day... ’?
