Is a raw carrot salad good for you?

A raw carrot salad is nutritious because carrots are rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and carotenoids. Carrots support the immune system and healthy vision. They may also offer anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits. Additionally, the salad includes onions, which can aid digestion and potentially lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease and certain cancers.

What are the side effects of raw carrot salad?

Over-consumption of raw carrot salad can potentially lead to carotenemia (yellowish skin discoloration), digestive discomfort like gas and bloating due to high fiber content, and, in rare cases, vitamin A toxicity if consumed excessively over an extended period.

Do raw carrots detox estrogen?

Carrots cannot directly remove excess estrogen from the body, but their fiber, antioxidants, and plant compounds may help support the body's natural processes for metabolizing and eliminating estrogen.

Do carrots clean the liver?

Carrots cannot directly "clean" or detoxify the liver, but their antioxidants and fiber may provide some indirect support for overall liver health as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle.
