After discovering the antioxidant action of kiwifruit, another good news arrives for those who love to treat themselves and prevent diseases by eating. This time the novelty concerns the very common carrot, which in addition to improving the view, promote tanning, provide a large amount of Vitamin C and minerals, it is also rich in alpha carotene, which apparently is a excellent ally for leading a healthy and long-lasting life.
To say this are the researchers of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, authors of a study also made known on "Archives of Internal Medicine”, Which highlights the results of an experiment conducted on a group of volunteers.
American scholars - led by Chaoyang Li - have indeed tested 15.000 people monitoring them for approx 20 years, in the context of "Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Follow-up Study”, And found that i levels of alpha carotene present in the blood are inversely associated with the risk of death, with particular reference to cardiovascular diseases and tumor.
Based on these data, the experts therefore concluded that the analysis provides further support to the thesis that has been recurring for years: eating fresh fruits and vegetables helps prevent premature death and to live longer.
In short, Bugs Bunny had seen us for a long time and since the carrot is found practically all year round, thanks to its many varieties, it is worth taking advantage of it!
