This common ingredient, best known in its orange variety, is famously recommended for its high content of beta-carotene, a pigment — and carotenoid — that gives the version of this root vegetable its splendid color.

Carrots have the ability to protect against age-related eyesight damage.

Beta-carotene can be converted by our bodies into vitamin A, which, "is involved in immune function, vision, reproduction, and cellular communication." Our bodies cannot produce vitamin A on their own, so it must be derived from external sourcre that is our diet.

This pigment is also an antioxidant that can protect the cells from the aging damage caused by floating radicals.

Moreover, research has shown that foods rich in carotenoids and, of course, carrots are a prime example here, can protect against age-related degeneration, the vision damage caused by old age.
