benefits of eating one carrot a day
A cup of chopped carrots contains 16.9 micrograms of vitamin K. This represents about 19 percent of the recommended daily intake for women or 14 percent for men, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Eating carrots contributes to your daily intake of vitamin B-6, or pyridoxine. This vitamin aids in the function of your nervous system.
Eating 1 cup of chopped carrots provides you with 10,605 micrograms of vitamin A, which is far more than the 900 micrograms required daily for men or 700 micrograms for women, according to the Linus Pauling Institute.
