Carrot juice good for treatment of acute colitis

Carrots were first cultivated in Afghanistan and the Near East and were well known to human ancestors. They were used by the ancient Greeks, notably by Hippocrates in 430 BC as a tonic for the stomach, and later by Galen as a remedy for flatulence.

Carrots are one of the best dietary sources of beta-carotene, which boosts the immune system and reduces the risk of many cancers, including, breast, rectal, larynx, and lung cancer.

Carrot juice is also excellent for the treatment of acute colitis. Adults with acute enterocolitis, diarrhea or colon disorders can benefit from carrot soup or juice.

‘Colitis’ is comprehensive terms that correspond to an acute or chronic inflammatory process that involves the whole colon or that is restricted to some portions.

Patients with colitis frequently present with abdominal pain, so a specific diagnosis is often difficult on the basis of clinical symptoms only.

The fiber content in whole carrots helps suppress the low-density (LDL) cholesterol and raise the high-density (HDL), an important precautionary measure against heart disease.
