Benefits Of Carrot Juice

Carrot Juice is one of the most nutritious types of fruit juice(s) made naturally. It is extracted from whole carrots and is extremely nutritious.  It is rich in potassium, Vitamin C and Vitamin A, and is thought to boost immunity and improve skin health, amongst other benefits.   

Below are 5 important benefits of taking Carrot Juice:  

Highly Nutritious 

Carrot Juice is low in calories and carbs, and is rich in numerous nutrients. One cup contains approx:

Calories: 96 grams.

Protein: 2 grams

Carbs: 22 grams

Sugar: 9 grams

Vitamin A: 255% of the Daily Value (DV)

Also Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Potassium.

Improves Eye Health

Carrot Juice is rich in high amounts of nutrients that benefit the eyes. Specifically, 1 cup (250 ml) of carrot juice packs over 250% of the DV for Vitamin A.

Vitamin A is a vital nutrient for eye health. Several studies associate the intake of fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin A with reduced risk of blindness and age-related diseases.

Also, carrot juice is an excellent source of lutein and zeaxanthin, two major carotenoids that accumulate in the eyes and shield them from damaging light.       

Boosts Immunity

Carrot juice is also a source of immune boost. The Vitamins A and C, which are found in carrot juicw protects the immune cells from radical damage.

It’s also a rich source of vitamin B6, providing over 30% of the Daily Value in one cup. The Vitamin B6 is necessary for an optimal immune boost. 

Improves Skin Health

The nutrients in carrot juice are particularly beneficial for skin health. One cup of carrot juice provides up to 20% of the DV for vitamin C, which is necessary for protein formation in the body, also providing elasticity and strength to your skin.

In addition, Vitamin C acts as anti-oxidant to protect your skin from Sun damage. 

Protects Liver

Carotenoids, which are found in carrot juice promotes liver health.

The properties of carotenoids, such as the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects protect against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

NAFLD usually occurs when fats accumulate in the liver as a result of poor diet or obesity. A recent study carried on rodents showed that carrot juice reduces markers of NAFLD, and also decreased inflammatory blood markers.

After 10-Week Declines, Covid-19 Deaths Increasing Again, WHO Cries

The World Health Organization has decried the increase of COVID-19 deaths after 10 weeks of decline.

This was disclosed by the WHO Director General, Tedros Adhanom, at a media briefing on COVID-19 held on Monday in Geneva.

Adhanom noted that the increase in COVID-19 deaths is evident in five of the six WHO regions.

“Last week marked the fourth consecutive week of increasing cases of COVID-19 globally, with increases recorded in all but one of WHO’s six regions. And after 10 weeks of declines, deaths are increasing again,” Adhanom said.

He added that the spike in COVID-19 death and cases can be attributed to the surge of the Delta variant in different countries.

The DG said, “We continue to hear reports from all regions of the world about hospitals reaching capacity. 

“The Delta variant is ripping around the world at a scorching pace, driving a new spike in cases and death. 

“Not everywhere is taking the same hit though, we’re in the midst of a growing two-track pandemic where the haves and have-nots within and between countries are increasingly divergent. 

“In places with high vaccination coverage, Delta is spreading quickly; especially infecting unprotected and vulnerable people and steadily putting pressure back on health systems.”

Aside the Delta variant, other variants and low vaccine coverage also attributes to the increase in COVID-19 cases and death toll.

“As countries lift public health and social measures, they must consider the impact on health workers and health systems. 

“In countries with low vaccine coverage, the situation is particularly bad. 

“Delta and other highly transmissible variants are driving catastrophic waves of case, which are translating into high numbers of hospitalizations and death.

“Even countries that successfully managed to ward off the early waves of the virus, through public health measures alone, are now in the midst of devastating outbreaks.

“Particularly in low-income countries, exhausted health workers are battling to save lives in the midst of shortages of personal protective equipment, oxygen and treatments.

Benefits of Drinking Warm Water In The Morning

Drinking water in the morning, especially on an empty stomach, is many shades of healthy. We all know that water doesn't exactly have many nutrients but one thing is sure, it is incredibly beneficial. Water helps to cleanse your colon and allows the stomach to absorb nutrients better, hence boosting metabolism. Ever heard the saying, "Drink water and mind your business" as the key to glowing skin? Yes, water does remove toxins from your blood and body giving you perfect, glowing skin.

Drinking water, hot or cold, keeps your body healthy and hydrated. Some people claim that hot water specifically can help improve digestion, relieve congestion, and even promote relaxation, compared with drinking cold water.

Helps in relieving constipation

Dehydration is a common cause of constipation. In many cases, drinking water is an effective way to relieve and prevent constipation. Staying hydrated helps soften stool and makes it easier to pass.

Drinking hot water regularly may help keep your bowel movements regular.

Decreases stress levels

Since drinking warm water helps improve central nervous system functions, you might end up feeling less anxious if you drink it.

According to a 2014 studyTrusted Source, drinking less water resulted in reduced feelings of calmness, satisfaction, and positive emotions.

Staying hydrated may therefore improve your mood and relaxation levels.

Improves circulation

Healthy blood flow affects everything from your blood pressure to your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Taking a warm bath helps your circulatory organs — your arteries and veins — expand and carry blood more effectively throughout your body.

Drinking warm water may have a similar effect. However, there’s little research that this is effective.

Aids digestion

Drinking water helps to keep the digestive system moving. As the water moves through your stomach and intestines, the body is better able to eliminate waste.

Some believe that drinking hot water is especially effective for activating the digestive system.

The theory is that hot water can also dissolve and dissipate the food you’ve eaten that your body might have had trouble digesting.
