Raw Carrots Could Aid in Blood Sugar Regulation, Research Suggests 

United States: Studies conducted by South Denmark University suggest that carrots may be helpful to people with type 2 diabetes. According to the Denmark-based study conducted by Professor Lars Porskjær Christensen, carrots might become an ingredient of the recommended dietary conclusions for taboo sugars in the future, as reported by HealthDay. 

In another study, genetically diabetes type 2 induced mice were fed a high-fat diet with 10% freeze-dried carrot powder for 16 weeks. The analysis concluded that the subjects in the carrot powder group had enhanced glycemic control and consequently, better sugar transport into the fibroblast cells. Moreover, the diet that involved carrots had a positive impact on the digestion process of the body since it is improved by the gut bacteria. 

Expectation for Use in Humans and for More Studies 

While the study was carried out on mice, the researcher is optimistic that similar effects could be observed in man. They are planning for more funding to look if the bioactive compounds in carrots played useful role in treating type 2 diabetic patients. This may open the possibility of revealing new approaches that may enhance the present diabetic therapies’ efficacy, if successful.

The Use of Carrots and How You Can Gain the Most from Them 

In order to optimise the health promoting efficacy, scientists suggest that carrots should be eaten raw or cooked gently, this is because heat diminishes the potency of bioactive substances that extend the bioavailability and influence the regulation of blood sugar and gut health, as reported by HealthDay.
