About 'food nutrients chart'|Charting Tests, Getting Food Right








               I               have               always               been               a               big               fan               of               carrots.

I               don't               think               I               ever               bought               into               the               carrots-are-good-for-your-eyes               argument               (for               the               record               --               that               would               be               the               beta-carotene               which               converts               to               vitamin               A               in               the               body               which               helps               improve               vision)               but               carrots               are               one               of               those               things               that               never               go               out               of               style.

When               I               was               a               kid,               carrots               were               a               lot               cheaper               than               potato               chips,               and               just               as               crunchy               as               popcorn,               so               it               was               no               big               deal               to               sneak               a               handful               into               the               movies.
               According               towww.health24.com,carrots               can               do               a               lot               for               you.

The               beta-carotene               in               carrots               is               an               anti-oxident               combating               the               free               radicals               that               contribute               to               conditions               like               cancer,               heart               disease,               and               macular               degeneration.

Medical               studies               conducted               in               Texas               and               Chicago               indicates               that               men               with               the               high               levels               of               beta-carotene               and               vitamin               C               had               a               37%               lower               risk               of               cancer               than               the               men               with               lower               levels.

Carrots               also               contain               another               anti-oxidant               called               alpha-carotene.
               So               why               the               sudden               interest               in               carrots?

Carrots               are               one               of               those               foods               that               are               often               overlooked               on               top-ten               lists               but               are               being               re-discovered               by               nutritionists.
               The               site               www.whfoods.compoints               out               that               cooking               carrots               actually               increased               their               nutritional               benefits.

The               fiber               in               carrots               can               trap               the               beta               carotene,               making               it               difficult               for               your               body               to               extract.

By               cooking               carrots               slightly,               you               free               the               beta-carotene,               from               the               fiber,               which               allows               your               body               to               absorb               it               better.

Eating               only               a               half-cup               serving               of               carrots               per               day               will               give               you               more               than               the               recommended               dosage               of               beta-carotene.

Many               nutritionists               recommend               the               best               way               to               consume               your               daily               dose               is               to               add               carrots               to               your               favorite               juice               blends.

This               actually               breaks               apart               the               fibers               allowing               the               beta-carotene               direct               access               to               absorption.

For               my               money,               juicing               a               carrot               is               not               nearly               as               fun               as               munching               on               a               carrot,               but               the               important               thing               is               to               eat               them.
               Carrots               really               are               good               for               your               eyes               (you               never               saw               Bugs               Bunny               wearing               glasses               did               you?)               but               carrots               are               beneficial               in               a               variety               of               other               ways               as               well.

The               site               www.homenaturalremedies.com               breaks               it               all               down               for               you               -               the               finicky               eater               and               informed               consumer:
               Better               Vision:               Beta-carotene               helps               to               protect               vision,               especially               night               vision.

After               beta-carotene               is               converted               to               vitamin               A               in               the               liver,               it               travels               to               the               retina               where               it               is               transformed               into               rhodopsin,               a               purple               pigment               that               is               necessary               for               night-vision.

Plus               beta-carotene's               powerful               antioxidant               actions               help               provide               protection               against               macular               degeneration               and               the               development               of               senile               cataracts,               the               leading               cause               of               blindness               in               the               elderly.
               Carotenoids               and               Optimal               Health:               Carrots               are               by               far               one               of               the               richest               source               of               carotenoids.

Just               one               cup               provides               16,679               IUs               of               beta-carotene               and               3,432               REs               (retinol               equivalents),               or               roughly               686.3%               the               RDA               for               vitamin               A.

High               carotenoid               intake               has               been               linked               with               a               20%               decrease               in               postmenopausal               breast               cancer               and               an               up               to               50%               decrease               in               the               incidence               of               cancers               of               the               bladder,               cervix,               prostate,               colon,               larynx,               and               esophagus.
               Carotenoids               and               Blood               Sugar:               Intake               of               foods               such               as               carrots               that               are               rich               in               carotenoids               may               be               beneficial               to               blood               sugar               regulation.

Research               has               suggested               that               physiological               levels               --               as               well               as               dietary               intake               of               carotenoids               --               may               be               inversely               associated               with               insulin               resistance               and               high               blood               sugar               levels.
               Falcarinol               in               Carrots               Promote               Colon               Health:               Although               best               known               for               their               high               content               of               beta               carotene,               carrots               also               contain               a               phytonutrient               called               falcarinol               that               may               be               responsible               for               the               recognized               epidemiological               association               between               frequently               eating               carrots               and               a               reduced               risk               of               cancers.

Falcarinol               provides               protection               against               colon               cancer               -               that               according               to               a               study               published               in               the               Journal               of               Agricultural               and               Food               Chemistry.

The               study               showed               that               three               groups               of               laboratory               animals               with               precancerous               colon               lesions               were               fed               a               standard               diet,               one               supplemented               with               freeze-dried               carrots               naturally               containing               falcarinol,               or               one               supplemented               with               an               extract               of               falcarinol.

After               18               weeks,               precancerous               lesions               in               the               animals               given               diets               containing               carrots               or               falcarinol               were               much               smaller               than               those               in               the               control               animals,               and               far               fewer               of               the               lesions               had               grown               in               size               or               progressed               to               become               tumors.

Carrots               are               hardy               vegetables               that               will               keep               longer               than               many               others               if               stored               properly.
               The               trick               to               preserving               the               freshness               of               carrot               roots               is               to               minimize               the               amount               of               moisture               they               lose.

According               to               www.whfoods.com,               the               trick               is               to               store               carrots               in               the               coolest               part               of               the               refrigerator               in               a               plastic               bag               or               wrapped               in               a               paper               towel,               which               will               reduce               the               amount               of               condensation               that               is               able               to               form.

They               should               be               able               to               keep               fresh               for               about               two               weeks.

Carrots               should               also               be               stored               away               from               apples,               pears,               potatoes               and               other               fruits               and               vegetables               that               produce               ethylene               gas               since               it               will               cause               them               to               become               bitter.

And               don't               forget               --               If               you               purchase               carrots               with               their               green               tops               still               attached,               the               tops               should               be               cut               off               before               storing               in               the               refrigerator               since               they               will               cause               the               carrots               to               wilt               prematurely               as               they               pull               moisture               from               the               roots.

Not               only               that,               but               the               greet               tops               will               suck               the               vitamins               out               of               the               carrot.

And               you               don't               want               that               to               happen               either.
