Could be the Carrots second to the Apple vice versa?








Heart disease is the leading cause of death among people, so we have a lot of physical activity to make our cardiovascular system fit and healthy, but still we need  to look for the potential beneficial solution in a natural and preventative ones. Specific food like Carrots have the potential and preventative impact than other foods.


Carrots shown to provide Amazing Benefits for the Heart in Another Study.

 A study from the Netherlands illustrated just how beneficial carrots can be in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The study analyzed different fruits and vegetables based on their color, which ltimately indicates the presence of certain nutrient compounds.

They separated produce into four different groups, green, white, red/purple, and orange/yellow. Interestingly, those in the orange/yellow group had the most anti-cardiovascular disease benefits. In particular, those vegetables with deep oranges hues (like carrots) showed the greatest benefit.

As a matter of fact, carrots were found to be the single most risk-reducing fruit or vegetable tested.

Participants in the study were tracked for 10 years, during which time their diet was analyzed for consumption of these foods and their risk reduction. Those who ate the fewest amount of carrots saw the least risk-reduction, though they still experienced reduced risk of heart disease. Those who ate the most carrots saw a reduction by about 32%.

Carrots re rich in antioxidants that are believed to be the muscle in cardiovascular disease prevention.

In other words, the evidence points to obtaining these antioxidant benifits from the whole, natural foods raher than trying to break them down into supplements, for instance.

In addition, phytonutrients like falcarinol and falcarindiol are believed to contribute to carrots' heart healthy benefits. These potent compounds have major anti-inflammatory benefitts, are believed to prevent the clumping of red blood cells, and have been shown to reduce the risk of cancerous "full scale tumors"from developing by 1/3 in some research.
