May Promote Weight Loss

Population studies demonstrate that people who eat vegetable-rich diets tend to weigh less than people who eat fewer vegetables.

This is because vegetables like carrots are low in calories yet highly nutritious, making them a weight-loss-friendly food.

Replacing high-calorie, processed snacks and meals with vegetable-based meals and snacks can help reduce your overall calorie intake and lead to healthy weight loss.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The one who has an intellect does not openly display it except in one of two situations: when he is furthest away from seeking something in the world, and when he is furthest away from abandoning it.

A review of ten studies in 141,187 women associated a high intake of all types of carrots with a 21% decreased risk of breast cancer.

What’s more, diets high in vegetables in general — including carrots — have been linked to an overall reduced risk of cancer.

Eating purple carrots may reduce your risk of certain types of cancer including colon and breast cancer.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The intellect is what arrives at what is correct through reasoning, and recognizes what has not yet happened through what has already taken place.

A study in 923 people with colorectal cancer and in 1,846 people without cancer noted that women with high intakes of purple vegetables and fruits had a lower risk of colorectal cancer than women who ate less purple produce.

Other studies show similar results in both men and women.

Additionally, research suggests that diets high in all types of carrots may protect against breast cancer.

May Have Anticancer Effects
Studies show that the potent antioxidants found in purple carrots possess cancer-fighting properties.

A 12-week study in which rats were exposed to a cancer-promoting compound found that rats fed a diet supplemented with purple carrot extract had less cancerous development than those on a normal diet.

Similarly, test-tube studies observe that anthocyanins may inhibit the growth and spread of breast, liver, skin, blood, and colon…

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The intellect is better than desire, for the intellect makes you a king over your destiny, and desire makes you a slave of your destiny.

Aside from anthocyanins, purple carrots contain other polyphenol antioxidants, such as chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid. In fact, purple carrots provide, on average, nine times more polyphenol antioxidants than carrots of other colors.

Polyphenols were shown to promote health and reduce your risk of heart disease, mental decline, and certain types of cancer.

Purple carrots are particularly rich in anthocyanins, which are antioxidants shown to protect against heart…

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The intellect is a king and characteristics are its subjects, so if it is weak in governing them, disorder takes place.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The intellect of a person becomes apparent through his dealings, and the character of a man is known by the way he exercises authority.

Anthocyanins have also been shown to protect against mental decline.

A review of seven studies demonstrated that certain mental outcomes — including verbal learning and memory — improved in children, adults, and older people after eating anthocyanin-rich foods.

Additionally, population studies suggest that an increased intake of anthocyanin-rich foods lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes.

Imam Ali (AS) says: "This day is an Eid for a person whose fasting and standing for worship has been accepted by Allah, and every day is an Eid in which there is no disobedience to Allah."
