Carrots have a good dosage of fiber, which will aid your digestive system. They also have a phytonutrient called falcarniol, which fights off the threat of colon cancer as written in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. There's also a good helping of vitamin K and C, and dozens of other minerals that will help round your diet out.

Carrot's greatest asset, though, is it's high levels of carotene - which the body easily converts to vitamin A. Carrots provide 428% DV in one cup. That's impressive. The health benefits of vitamin A are wide ranging and well documented. As stated earlier, they help better your vision, and especially your night-vision. They also help fight off Heart disease - eating at least one serving of carrots a day can reduce your rate of heart disease by as much as 60%. Vitamin A can also significantly increase lung health, while also suppressing the risk of lung cancer. When smoke is ingested in the lungs, it leaches vitamin A out of your system, leaving many smokers - or those who live with smokers, or work in smoky environments - deficient in vitamin A. Eating carrots can help replace some of this vitamin A, bringing your body back up to normal, healthy levels.

Add to this list that carrots have high levels of anti-oxidants (also cancer fighting) and help maintain stable blood sugar levels, and you have yourself one healthy vegetable.
