Healing recipes with Carrots.

We are accustomed to taking vitamins and minerals in pill form, but it is more convenient for our body to take vitamins and minerals with food. Often, food rich in vitamin compounds and mineral salts is not very convenient to eat, and given the fact that vitamins and mineral complexes are destroyed during heat treatment in most cases, healthy foods have to be eaten raw. Synthetic vitamins and minerals are justified in cases where dose matters, since foods usually contain a daily dose that is beneficial for health, and not for treatment when an increased dosage of any vitamin or mineral compound is required. But when it comes to vitamin A, we can say that nature has tried to supply this vitamin in abundance to a large number of vegetables and fruits, and the main carrier of vitamin A is Carrots. It is in Carrots that it is easiest to find vitamin A in dosages corresponding to medicinal ones, but many people neglect this food product due to the fact that Carrots raw food diet is not a very pleasant experience.

Carrots are not only beneficial for health due to their high doses of vitamin A, but rather its precursor Carotene. Carrots are a multivitamin plant high in the mineral salts of Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, Calcium and Phosphorus, as well as being a source of carrot essential oil (which gives Carrots the smell and taste) and a source of fiber, which play an important role in the smooth functioning of the intestines, despite whether a person suffers from gastrointestinal diseases or not. The combination of fiber, essential oil and vitamin A in Carrots allows you to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract in various directions, from intestinal motility to inflammatory bowel diseases, since vitamin A is a substance that is directly involved in tissue healing and regeneration of damaged tissue areas throughout the body. But a more pronounced healing effect is found when vitamin A is in close proximity to the areas of damage. This opens up great opportunities for repairing intestinal damage without the involvement of complex medical procedures, which is worth paying attention to for those who are interested in maintaining their health and treating gastrointestinal problems on their own.

Due to the presence of Potassium, Magnesium and Sodium salts in Carrots, this root vegetable is considered a very useful food component for people suffering from heart disease, as well as for those who intend to postpone myocardial problems for a long time.

The proposed healing recipes from Carrots are not just everyday dishes and drinks - they meet the tasks of healing the body from many hidden and obvious health problems. Many of the health benefits of eating Carrots are based on the use of Carrot Juice in drinks, which most people find difficult to get at home. But the carrot juice has a healing effect, which does not contain additional components (preservatives, sugar, salt, spices), and such juice is not difficult to make at home without the participation of a juicer. Carrots are not the juiciest vegetable, but one of the juiciest root crops, which allows you to squeeze a fairly large amount of juice out of Carrots.

In order to get natural Carrot juice on your own, choose a Carrot of the quality that meets a number of requirements - the root crop should not be too old and stale, sluggish root crops do not contain much juice (it has already been lost), a quality Carrot root crop should have an expressive smell and sweet taste. Peel the carrots chosen for juice, grate on a coarse grater, transfer to a deep bowl, cover with a plate or an inverted lid and put under a press (for example, a five-gallon water bottle is suitable for the role of a press). After some time (depending on the juiciness of the carrot, the time period may vary), remove the press and, without removing the lid, pour the resulting juice into a glass container. Carrot juice is squeezed out quickly enough (no more than half an hour from a large amount of carrots), if the carrots are chosen correctly. Ready carrot juice can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for one to two days until the Carrot Drink is prepared. You should know that Carrot juice in the air loses its essential oils, which are important elements of the therapeutic effect. Therefore, the most useful thing is freshly squeezed carrot juice, which can be manually squeezed using gauze folded in several layers. For a large amount of Carrot juice, you will need several pounds of carrots, but for the current preparation of dishes and drinks with Carrot juice, three pounds of weight of grated Carrots and manual squeezing of the juice is enough - as a result, about 7 ounces of juice is obtained (the amount of juice depends on the juiciness of the Carrots).

Carrot salad with kefir.

Carrot salad with kefir is a double healing effect for the intestines. It improves peristalsis and relieves constipation, and also creates a favorable environment for beneficial intestinal microflora, which is directly involved in the digestive process. To prepare Carrot Salad with kefir, you need to grate fresh carrots on a coarse grater (two large root crops) and mix with half a glass of kefir of any percentage fat content.

Carrot salad with dried apricots.

Carrot salad with Apricots is not only the prevention and treatment of constipation. This is food for the heart muscle, which needs potassium and magnesium in large quantities. Dried or dried Apricots (dried apricots) are used in the salad, which contain a high amount of these mineral salts, which, in combination with Carrots, enhances the healing effect of the salad. Grate raw carrots, pour boiling water over dried apricots for an hour to soften, and then cut into small pieces. Mix both ingredients to evenly distribute the pieces of dried apricots between the particles of carrots.

Carrot cocktail.

To prepare a carrot cocktail, you will need carrot juice in the amount of one third of a glass, yogurt without fruit additives in the amount of two thirds of a glass, vanillin to taste, a few drops of egg white for foam (or any other foaming agent). Pour all the ingredients into a mixer (blender or shaker) and beat until smooth. Carrot cocktail can be whipped with a whisk by hand. In addition to the fact that the Carrot Cocktail will create a festive mood, it will improve many health indicators. Such a cocktail is appropriate to use in the morning, at lunch, in the evening and even at night.

Puree from Carrots and Apricots with nuts.

To prepare a puree of Carrots and Apricots with nuts for one serving, you will need one medium-sized carrot root, two Apricots without pits and skins and 20-30 grams of Walnut (or Pecan). Scald apricots with boiling water for easy skinning, remove the pits and crush with a fork. Grate raw carrots on a fine grater or mash in a blender to a puree consistency. Lightly toast the walnut or pecan and crush by hand into small crumbs. Mix the puree of Apricots and Carrots, sprinkle with nuts and stir all the ingredients until smooth. Puree from Carrots and Apricots is not only a dietary and healthy dish, but also an opportunity to follow a diet with a minimum amount of sugars and a fruit and vegetable dessert.

For people to whom raw Carrots are categorically contraindicated due to any disease, Carrots for medicinal recipes are steamed until half cooked (in a double boiler) or baked until half cooked, but not boiled.
