A lifestyle coach shares the best ways to eat carrots for maximum health benefits
"Everything in moderation, of course. When you consume too much carrot juice, you can develop toxicity. More does not always imply better. If it suits you, go ahead and have it; if not, don't, "said Luke Coutinho, a lifestyle coach.
Winter vegetables are essential for staying healthy and boosting the immune system. The carrot, a root vegetable with numerous health benefits, is a winter superfood. Luke Coutinho, a lifestyle coach, recently took to Instagram to explain why and how carrots should be included in everyone's daily diet for better health.
"Carrots are best eaten whole; chewing them is also good for your teeth." "It's also good for the liver," he added. The best thing about carrots is that they can be eaten raw or juiced. "However, if you juice them, drink the juice along with the fibre." "Don't strain," Coutinho advised.
He also stated that cancer patients should always choose organic and peeled carrots to avoid infection. "Make some carrot soup," he suggested.
He cautioned against drinking too much carrot juice if you have diabetes. "It's preferable if you eat the whole carrot or drink no more than one mug of juice depending on how your levels behave," he says.
What is the best way to make carrot juice?
"I enjoy carrot juice, unstrained, with fresh or dried parsley" (especially good for breast cancers). Next, add a couple of drops of extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil. "Expand it by adding beetroot, cucumber, or ginger, garlic, and black pepper," he suggested.
However, like everything else, carrot juice should be consumed in moderation. "All things in moderation." When you drink too much carrot juice, you can develop toxicity. More does not always imply better. If it suits you, go ahead and have it; if not, don't," he said.
