Carrots

Carrots are one of the most well-known root vegetables, as well as one of the most healthy. They're loaded with vitamins A and K, as well as beta-carotene, an important antioxidant.

In both people and animals, eating carrots has been related to improved antioxidant status and decreased cholesterol levels. According to another study, a higher intake of carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, is linked to a decreased risk of various cancers, such as breast, prostate, and stomach cancer. Furthermore, carotenoids may help prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of vision loss. Carrots are delicious raw or dipped in hummus as a snack, but they may also be cooked and used in stir-fries, stews, or side dishes.
