It takes a combination of foods, not just one, to create a healthy body. Today, we’re going to talk about an additional food you should add to your daily salads: carrots.

We’ve talked before about why you can have carrots on keto but haven’t gone in-depth on the health benefits of carrots.

One medium carrot has 4.3 net carbs and a low glycemic load, so having one carrot daily won’t push you out of ketosis.

Health benefits of carrots:
1. The fiber in carrots may help detox and balance estrogen
2. They lessen the activation of procarcinogens
3. They contain antioxidants
4. They’re antiangiogenic
5. They have anticlotting properties
6. They have properties that can help fight mycoplasma
7. They may help reduce intestinal inflammation
8. They’re antitumor
9. They’re anticancer

I suggest eating at least one medium organic carrot every day to help boost your health.

      Raw?

    • Sunshine Always on April 24, 2023 at 5:48 pm

      ​@N F can they be steamed to soften 😂

    Organic produce farmer here. I grow around 5,000 per year. We eat 2-3 everyday. Fresh, because we grow them during the winter in a heated greenhouse; although they winter over EXTREMELY well outside. Just cut off almost all of the green tops and mulch them very heavily with straw, and cover that with a tarp. Actually they get sweeter after a frost or two.

    • AllHim Withme on April 24, 2023 at 10:32 am

      YES! We grow our carrots and winter them in the ground, too, but be aware that that’s when more sugar develops; that’s why they’re sweeter. We tend to harvest them and store them in the basement now instead so they’re not as high in sugar content.

      Don’t the mice move in?

    • אליאל בן-דן on April 24, 2023 at 10:54 am

      @Shirley G No! Our cat is a rodent serial-killer. If it moves, he kills it. Living by a simple philosophy keeps him stress free and youthful.

  3. Maya Shanti on April 24, 2023 at 10:14 am

    🥰 Thank you, doctor Berg! I’ve eaten raw carrot every day always, together with green salads, sour craute with applecider vinegar and Virgin olive oil. I am happy and healthy🙏😊

  4. Linda Pietrasz on April 24, 2023 at 10:15 am

    My father used to tell me that carrots made my eyes shine. I never did believe a word that man said. 🥕🥕🥕

    • AllHim Withme on April 24, 2023 at 10:30 am

      As Mark Twain said, it’s amazing how smart our parents get as we get older, LOL!

    • Maus fledermaus on April 24, 2023 at 2:03 pm

      @AllHim Withme, exactly! My mother always encouraged me to eat carrots and parsley! I was not paying much attention then though 😢

  5. Sharfah Mia on April 24, 2023 at 10:18 am

    Amazing never knew food like carrots had such amazing properties ❤❤❤ thank you so much dr berg !!❤❤

  6. Elisabeth Meneghini on April 24, 2023 at 10:20 am

    When I was a child, (6 decades ago) my parents and grand-parents used to say: “ An Apple a day keeps the doctor away”!

    • AllHim Withme on April 24, 2023 at 10:31 am

      Yes…that was when apples were natural and not GMO to be too sweet. Apples have amazing health benefits as they were originally created. Now we’re all much better off with organic carrots, but 60 years ago people weren’t wrong to say that.

    • LetsBeHonest on April 24, 2023 at 10:48 am

      That was also used for the teeth..”keeps the dentist away”

    • Nancy Grogan on April 24, 2023 at 11:44 am

      The last apples I bought at the grocery store were so pretty and shiny. I placed them in a pretty bowl on the counter and 2 months later about half of them were still there. They looked as pretty and shiny as the day I put them there. That is not natural. The taste was horrible as well.

    • Spam Mouse on April 24, 2023 at 4:18 pm

      They were smaller and harder in those days, people had better aim and a well thrown apple would keep a pesky doctor from coming to the homestead wanting a fee for telling people to eat healthy.

  7. ཌNedད on April 24, 2023 at 10:29 am

    I eat 2-3 (organic) carrots a day, grated and mixed with a whole diced avocado, grated (raw) beetroot, sauerkraut, extra virgin olive oil, raw apple cider and Himalayan salt. Sometimes I also mix some seaweed (wakame) and I also make combinations with other veggies or maybe diced hard-boiled egg. It is an everyday staple salad, and I love it.

    • ཌNedད on April 24, 2023 at 2:23 pm

      @Lady 😅

    • Bahaar on April 24, 2023 at 3:23 pm

      Sounds delicious!😊

    • Lise Barrett on April 24, 2023 at 4:03 pm

      Sounds so yummy but also healthy. Thank you!

    • ཌNedད on April 24, 2023 at 4:22 pm

      @Lise Barrett Well perhaps it is more of an acquired taste – more so with seaweed —, like the pickled herring in Sweden. Such a degree of rawness is not commonly preferred, but one can easily get used to it.

    • Lise Barrett on April 24, 2023 at 4:34 pm

      @ཌNedད Yummy means tasty. I love uncooked veg and this combination sounds like a winner!

  8. Esi KS21 on April 24, 2023 at 10:36 am

    I hereby testify that everything our dear Doctor says is true and I’ve experienced first hand for many years.
    We love you sir🤗

    • TED1 on April 24, 2023 at 11:13 am

      i would read books instead of listening these “doctors”, carrot is a starch

  9. 916hellas on April 24, 2023 at 10:59 am

    I haven’t been sick for almost 13 years ever since Ive been consuming raw carrots. Both my parents were diagnosed with breast, lung, and prostate cancer years ago. Ever since they’ve been consuming raw carrots and raw vegetables, no signs of cancer. Doctors don’t want to know what they’ve been doing, they just say keep doing what you’re doing.

    • eyeYQ2 on April 24, 2023 at 1:48 pm

      @Alz WOW, I’ll add that regime to my husbands myriad of things he’s doing🥕♥♥

    • Alz on April 24, 2023 at 1:55 pm

      @eyeYQ2 you might want to check out “cancer is over” blog for details of carrot juice therapy. The success lies in being consistent

    • eyeYQ2 on April 24, 2023 at 2:37 pm

      @Alz Ok, I will. Thank you!

    • Ivan Georgiev ☑️ on April 24, 2023 at 4:34 pm

    I’ve been wondering about that and beets. I’ve started intermittent fasting just over 8 weeks ago. 6’2” at 210 now from 225 male 66. When I did 48 or lately a 36 hr fast my ketones got really high like well over 7 almost 8. Glucose early on was 100 ish now 90is and the last fast of 36 it got in the 70s but ketones were way high. I used to be a sugar eater big time. Cakes chocolate ice cream coke carbs. Now healthy keto. Second round of itchy skin. So I’m thinking many toxins to let go of. At some point I’ll be able to fast for longer than 48 or do a 36/12 for a week without the ketones getting so high. I’m putting carrots back in my salads. Maybe kick down the ketones first then do the longer fast.

    • Susan Sawarin on April 24, 2023 at 2:14 pm

      High ketone are good. Our brains love ketone.

  11. The Farmacy Seeds Network on April 24, 2023 at 12:11 pm

    Thanks Dr Berg! Shared! I didn’t realize there were so many great compounds! The only problem I’m having now is deciding which veggies to use in my GIANT salad every day… I have started switching around so I have room for my proteins! 😁

  12. Cynthia Rucker on April 24, 2023 at 12:16 pm

    Thank you Dr. Berg! This is the kind of information that makes a real difference when making meal choices! So, so good! Thank you!

  13. Joshua A. on April 24, 2023 at 12:49 pm

    I’ve been drinking organic carrot juice for two weeks now and I can feel that it does something good to my body. I can’t explain how but now I know after I watched this video. I should eat raw carrots but the organic carrot juice 8 fl oz daily is still better than no carrot at all. Thanks for the video.

    • Rikard Mølsæter on April 24, 2023 at 4:09 pm

      Juicing it removes most of the benefit

    • Lamby on April 24, 2023 at 5:26 pm

      Been drinking fresh raw carrot juice daily for well over a decade. Keeps me in great health and shape.

  14. Cindy McFarland on April 24, 2023 at 12:58 pm

    Thank you for clarifying the sugar content issue of carrots. I’ve been avoiding them but will now embrace them. Keep up the excellent videos!

  15. Humble_B on April 24, 2023 at 1:35 pm

    Carrots celery kale and blueberries has been my staple in the beginning of my health journey. Adding the carrot has proven to enhance my vision, so much so, my drivers license corrective lenses has been removed. Passing the vision test without eyeglasses for the first time in over 20 years seems unreal.

    • Kathy on April 24, 2023 at 2:41 pm

      Wow! Just by eating carrots daily?

  16. Sharif Sabuj on April 24, 2023 at 1:36 pm

    I’m 37. I have been eating 1 raw carrot a day for last 17 years. I was told it is good for eyes. I also found it keeps my bowel clean. I didn’t know about the other benefits. Thanks Dr Berg.

    • Spam Mouse on April 24, 2023 at 1:55 pm

      Part of the carrots for eye-sight is part of the British propaganda mission in WWII as they wanted to keep the operation of radar a secret from the Nazi air force who were being shot down by pilots guided by radar, but the myth was that carrots gave them night-vision.

  17. Remedios Anschütz on April 24, 2023 at 1:45 pm

    Wow, i’m happy to hear this! i feel validated. Depending on how big the carrot is, i put a part of it in my salad and the rest in my smoothie which is a mix of buttermilk, frozen kale, ginger, turmeric, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley sprigs and cuttings from green celery, especially the lower part which are very fivrous. And before i drink a glas of it i add 1 tbsp of ACV.

  18. Okome Udogri on April 24, 2023 at 1:56 pm

    This video makes me so happy because i always make a salad with cabbage and carrots with olive oil as my dressing, i use to think it’s only the cabbage helping my hormones, now I’m happy the carrot also contributes😊😊😊

  19. fabulous fred on April 24, 2023 at 2:49 pm

    Dearest Dr Berg, many thanks for all you do, you have improved my life a thousand fold. I have suffered with afib for over a decade, becoming increasingly frequent over time to a point where even light exercise was impossible. Two weeks into taking coq10 on your recommendation and the relief is incredible. A thousand thank yous dear Chap.
