We’ve had it drilled into us from an early age that vegetables are a staple of any healthy diet, and you can’t have any dessert until you finish them.
As adults, we tend to be less averse to them, although if anyone brings a brussel sprout near me I will still run screaming from the room.
While we enjoy the greens, life is busy, and meeting the daily requirements can be tough, which is where we get crafty with our intake.
Fruit juice has proven to be a great way to get a daily dose of the good stuff, with one, in particular, rising above the rest: carrot juice.
Healthline rounded up some of the most impressive benefits of introducing some carrot juice into your diet:
1. Carrot juice is highly nutritious
It’s low in calories and carbs while packing some excellent nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium. It also contains plant compounds called carotenoids, which act as antioxidants.
2. May improve eye health
Remember when your parents told you to eat your carrots because they’d “help you see better”, especially in the dark? There might be some truth to what they were saying.
Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which is vital for eye health. Several studies have linked the intake of fruits and vegetables that contain provitamin A with a decreased risk of blindness and age-related eye diseases.
3. Immunity booster
Both vitamins A and C found in carrot juice act as antioxidants and give your immune cells a boost that keeps them from free radical damage.
Carrot juice is also high in vitamin B6, which is necessary for an ideal immune response to infections.
4. May improve skin health
Vitamin C isn’t just an immune booster and an antioxidant. It’s also necessary for collagen production, and the beta carotene in carrot juice can also improve skin health.
One study found that a carotenoid-rich diet (which includes carrots) could help to protect your skin from ultraviolet (UV) damage.
The benefits listed above can’t be achieved with any old carrot juice, especially if it’s processed or pumped full of sugar.
You need to find a supplier, like Sir Fruit, that prides themselves on keeping all of the nutrients and good stuff packed into their products.
They’ve even pumped up the nutrient factor by adding apple and mango into their Cool Carrots fruit juice:
It’s a great drink for while you’re stuck in those Zoom meetings, off for a hike, or just chilling in front of the TV.
We don’t judge.
If you’re after a little pick-me-up, you could also start your morning with a Natural Energy Shot made with actual, whole cranberries, mixed with green coffee and guarana to deliver the equivalent of one cup of good coffee.
Later, you can power down with a Calming CBD Shot crammed with apples and spinach leaves and a decent amount of super-healthy green rooibos.
Think of it as a little bottle of good vibrations that reduce any stress and anxiety, and help you sleep better, all of which, when combined with the nutrients in that carrot juice, contribute to your overall wellbeing.
You can stock up on all the juice you need via the Sir Fruit website. Once you’ve filled your cart and placed your order, they’ll deliver it to your door.
Convenient and healthy – it doesn’t get much better than that.
