However, some people should not consume this vegetable.
Dietitian and nutritionist Evgeny Arzamastsev warned about this.
The expert’s statement is quoted by Moscow 24 .
Benefits and harms of carrots
Firstly, carrots contain a lot of fiber, which improves the functioning of the digestive tract.
Secondly, when eating fresh carrots, the gums are massaged, which improves the blood supply to the tissues and pulp of the tooth.
Thirdly, carrots contain a lot of vitamin A, which is an immunomodulator.
This vitamin also improves metabolism, vision and skin condition.
If you need vitamin A, it is better to eat carrots in a heat-treated form, Arzamastsev recommended.
