2. Digestion

Containing both soluble and insoluble fibers, eating carrots provides you with loads of minerals, vitamins, fiber and enzymes that are essential for a healthy digestive system. Studies have even shown that eating carrots could reduce your risk of gastric ulcers.

Just as fiber helps pass food through your digestive system, beta carotene (converted into vitamin A) boosts the health of your lymphocytes, the cells responsible for fighting off food-borne pathogens. Carrots are also abundant in calcium and magnesium, minerals that are necessary for muscle contractions, including those in your digestive tract.
