My mother-in-law lived to 99 and was rarely sick. She ate lots of raw carrots. She would always quote her mother who told her as a child to “eat the rainbow”. She gave credit for the quote to a doctor of that time.
Organic produce farmer here. I grow around 5,000 per year. We eat 2-3 everyday. Fresh, because we grow them during the winter in a heated greenhouse; although they winter over EXTREMELY well outside. Just cut off almost all of the green tops and mulch them very heavily with straw, and cover that with a tarp. Actually they get sweeter after a frost or two.
YES! We grow our carrots and winter them in the ground, too, but be aware that that's when more sugar develops; that's why they're sweeter. We tend to harvest them and store them in the basement now instead so they're not as high in sugar content.
Thanks for the great tip! Is this all without harvesting? Just leave them in the ground and cut tops off? Or harvest first? Thanks for sharing! We agave cold winters and I knew that some people leave the carrots in the ground but have not learned to cut the tops off before harvest. Very interesting.
🥰 Thank you, doctor Berg! I've eaten raw carrot every day always, together with green salads, sour craute with applecider vinegar and Virgin olive oil. I am happy and healthy🙏😊
Carrots celery kale and blueberries has been my staple in the beginning of my health journey. Adding the carrot has proven to enhance my vision, so much so, my drivers license corrective lenses has been removed. Passing the vision test without eyeglasses for the first time in over 20 years seems unreal.

@@szililolabu Dr Berg has shared that there are benefits to raw that disappear when cooked. And there are benefits to cooked that are not available in the raw. I think our ancestors ate lots of raw and fermented the extra produce for storage.
@@carolschedler3832 yes, raw, cooked and fermented vegetables are good for us and it is how our ancestors ate. The processing depended on the vegetable. They never ate spinach, kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts raw.
I eat 2-3 (organic) carrots a day, grated and mixed with a whole diced avocado, grated (raw) beetroot, sauerkraut, extra virgin olive oil, raw apple cider and Himalayan salt. Sometimes I also mix some seaweed (wakame) and I also make combinations with other veggies or maybe diced hard-boiled egg. It is an everyday staple salad, and I love it.
I'm 37. I have been eating 1 raw carrot a day for last 17 years. I was told it is good for eyes. I also found it keeps my bowel clean. I didn't know about the other benefits. Thanks Dr Berg.

Thanks for the video Dr. Berg. I have always wondered Why so many people heal from cancer eating raw carrots or drinking carrot juice when “everybody” says it’s too sweet for cancer patient. I have my answer. Thank you so much.
I’ve been seeing so many of your videos, Dr. Berg. And I feel for the first time that my symptoms have been understood. So, I had covid last year in August and since then I’ve been having anxiety attacks, bloating, burps and occasionally acid reflux after 1 hour of having food and constant horrible breath despite oral hygiene. I suspect I may have SIBO or gut dysbiosis. I’ve started intermittent fasting and it has been 5 days and I am already seeing improvement for the first time in 8 months. You have my gratitude. 🙏🏼
I started growing carrots in containers a few years ago , wow , homegrown fresh carrots are amazing! I use several 5 gallon cloth grow bags and each one gets a different variety . It’s also allowed me to try varieties not sold in grocery stores.
@@pelonconstante6271 I’ve bought from migardener , baker creek , burpee , gurneys , or even just what they have had at the local stores . Use deep enough containers , surface sow on moist soil , place something directly on the seeds to block light and gently press into soil ….I just cut a couple layers of cardboard into the shape of the container and put some rocks on it and will also wet the cardboard a bit. Check on them regularly around when they should germinate ( the seed packet will say) remove the cover after they start to sprout and then when they start to really get growing thin them out so they can grow bigger and are not crowded . It doesn’t matter what variety you grow , they will be so much better than any store bought carrot . I like to try the purples , reds and yellows though .
How great, my mum probably did not know this but she insisted on raw carrot and apples....and that is what I give often to my kid. We seem to be less ill than the average. Thanks Mr. BERG for your explanation. 😊
Wow; I didn't realize this at all. I put a whole raw organic carrot in my lunch salad every day - just because I like the color! Who knew it would actually have all these benefits! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
Was just thinking yesterday about making some spring rolls using shrimp, cabbage (green and purple), and carrots. Love that these foods are so healthy!
I've been drinking organic carrot juice for two weeks now and I can feel that it does something good to my body. I can't explain how but now I know after I watched this video. I should eat raw carrots but the organic carrot juice 8 fl oz daily is still better than no carrot at all. Thanks for the video.
@@vinitachugani8657 both. You can grate raw carrot into a salad or juice and have a glass with your food. I also like to drink a couple of glasses with a side of mixed nuts as a light meal.
This is a powerful video, Dr. Berg, my mother had me eating carrots at a young age. I am ketogenic and the carrot along with the berries that I already eat will also be had to my staple of raw foods. Thank you so much.
Raw carrots, and in particular the raw carrot salad with vinegar and salt, (see Dr. Ray Peat carrot salad) has completely transformed my digestion! I have experimented with many ways of getting raw carrot into my diet including adding shredded carrot to no-bake cookies. It doesn't matter how you get them into your diet, just eat those raw
Thanks Dr Berg! Shared! I didn't realize there were so many great compounds! The only problem I'm having now is deciding which veggies to use in my GIANT salad every day... I have started switching around so I have room for my proteins! 😁
God has blessed us abundantly. Personally I have 8 staple veggies /fruits that I eat everyday in my salads and then have the 9th on rotation usually a cruciferous veggie then my protein is either eggs or tuna. My 8 standard are: avocado, tomatoes, carrot, red onions, bell pepper, parsley, cucumber, romaine lettuce. For my 4 cruciferous red/ green cabbage, sprouted broccoli, watercress and rockets/ arugula.
My daily diet now looks like a list of Dr Bergs superfoods: tons of pasture eggs, grass fed buttered coffee, kefir, organic blueberries, avocado, garlic and a daily shot of high polyphenol EVOO in the morning (is this breaking my intermittent fasting?)…Mid 40s I want to get my diet right so hopefully I stay healthy into my senior years 🙏
Thank you for this reminder on what carrots can do for us! Back in the 70's my parents had a friend who was diagnosed with a gastric cancer. He was so full of cancer that his Dr just sewed him back up and told him to get his affairs in order as he only had at most a few weeks to live. He started juicing raw carrots everyday and that was all he consumed. A few months later he went back to his Dr. and was declared cancer free. 8 years ago I was blending a carrot, a small apple a few slices of beet and some greens and I felt amazing! With my busy life I have let that go and have recently seen my health decline. I need to get back to consuming my smoothie. It's a great way to get more veggies in my diet.
Awesome victory! Thanks for sharing. There is a cancer treatment called the Gersen protocol. Includes juiced carrots and a couple other points. I have heard other stories like this too. 🎉🎉🎉
Cancer only come back if you get chemo or radiation because they don't treat the cause,but if you got cancer free by natural method than it won't come back as long as you ear healthy
Sounds wonderful! Can you say how ? Id like to keep a steady batch going. Id eat it as a slaw. Thanks , very much to Dr. Berg for these videos. Finally, something is starting to work! I am very old and sedentarry from r.a., but am beginning to feel mych better and lost some weight.
@@lindakrumenauer1099 Quart jar...shredded carrot + finely cut cabbage, toss together, stuff tightly in jar with enough room for a weight, 2 Tablespoons salt (no iodine) with hot water, let cool and pour over vegies, cap with fermenting lid, let stand on counter for at least 3 days, or until cabbage turns translucent, then transfer to frig and start eating.
There is doctor in south america that is recommending a 5x5 treatment of carrot juice for GERD, Parasites, IBS and all sort of gut issues. Its 5 days, 5 cups a day (only 5 days), he also recommends adding some drops of Oregano Oil in each cup. People have tried it and they have improved big time. So this video further confirms this treatment. Note that the jiuce has to be made WITH the crust.
@@kathy4015 Sorry if I expressed myself wrong. What I meant is that you should use an extractor to make carrot juice (not a blender) and you should not peel it. That's the point.
This video makes me so happy because i always make a salad with cabbage and carrots with olive oil as my dressing, i use to think it's only the cabbage helping my hormones, now I'm happy the carrot also contributes😊😊😊
one huge not commonly known or discussed benefit of carrots is the increase of GH in the body from chewing, lots of the foods we eat are soft and don't really stimulate the reaction from our body's to produce and secrete a substantial amount GH from eating. so if your diet is most comprised of soft easy to eat foods after about the 2 week mark of eating carrots daily you will most likely start feeling more energetic and less fragile.
I have a restaurant that I love. Shredded carrots and shredded purple cabbage are offered as a substitute to pasta. It is a very popular substitute in a popular local restaurant.
Hello. Thank you for this research. I eat them everyday for the past 3 months. My bleeding from fibroids, have stopped. I've also stopped eating alot of foods that cause bleeding.
I shed my organic carrot and eat as my salad, daily. Eat my greens, lettuce as the bun on my grass fed hamburger... Thank you God for all the wonderful food you gave us✝️👍
We can ferment carrots with sauerkraut or kimchi and still benefit from the bacteria on or in he carrots? And its sugar would have been eaten by the sauerkraut bacteria?
Yes and Yes. We ferment carrots all by themselves, too...all you need is salt water. Look up fermenting vegetables salt solution and you'll find the ratios. You don't need cabbage/sauerkraut with it.
Yes.🥕🥕🥕👍😎👍 "In fermentation, the sugars and starches are eaten by the bacteria cultures and converted to lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and more bacteria. Fermentation can be used to lower the dietary carbohydrate levels found in various foods." Cultures For Health
Dearest Dr Berg, many thanks for all you do, you have improved my life a thousand fold. I have suffered with afib for over a decade, becoming increasingly frequent over time to a point where even light exercise was impossible. Two weeks into taking coq10 on your recommendation and the relief is incredible. A thousand thank yous dear Chap.
I always heard that 🥕 carrots were all sugar, so I avoided them.. same with banana, and even celery.. Jack LaLanne used to say, "If man made it, don't eat it." Now our good Dr. Berg says carrots are good, so now I will start eating carrots again.. Hey Dr. Berg, could you do a video on how much of each of the common fruits we should eat per day, and how much would be too much? 🍎 🍏 🍌 🍊 🍇 🥑
Most vegetables in the order Apiales, will have the same or similar properties, all the veg you mentioned are in that order. One of my favorite is parsnips in soup and stews. It's a bit strong flavored for raw consumption, but from time to time I will eat a few bites.
Carrot raisin salad (can change the raisins for something else) is easy to make with a food processor. Just keep grated carrot in fridge next to your feta (or whatever) :)
Hello dr Berg. I’m 17 yrs old and 108 kgs rn. Can I follow intermittent fasting? Is it safe to follow for a teenager. I’ve stopped snacking and eat only 3 meals a day as of now. Please do reply and lemme know. Also I would love to see a video from u explaining the foods that can be consumed while doin intermittent fasting for teens specially. And thanks for this video , I’ll definitely start adding carrots to my daily meals
In your professional opinion, what are the best fruit and veg to make into a smoothie? Just got a new juicer and want to christen it with something healthy
Dear Dr Berg, thank you for such an informative and useful video; however, I have a question regarding the consumption of raw carrots: there is plenty of sources out there insisting that for better absorption carrots need to be cooked and eaten with some fat. What is your opinion on this view? Thank you.
Wow, i'm happy to hear this! i feel validated. Depending on how big the carrot is, i put a part of it in my salad and the rest in my smoothie which is a mix of buttermilk, frozen kale, ginger, turmeric, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley sprigs and cuttings from green celery, especially the lower part which are very fivrous. And before i drink a glas of it i add 1 tbsp of ACV.
I never gave up carrots when I began keto four years ago. I like them far, far too much to give up. They, along with cauliflower and broccoli, steamed and then drizzled with Kerrygold butter----oh, man, that right there is a fabulous meal when I put it in a bowl along with buttered, tender stew beef. I love raw carrots, but my dentist told me not to eat whole ones due to one oddball tooth at the front that has an odd hole above it (not quite in the roof of my mouth, but directly under that). The filling is so fragile, something like biting into a carrot or anything that requires significant bite strength will shatter it. But steamed carrot is just fine with me! I do eat raw shredded carrots, though. Just love that earthy taste. Made my mother so happy that at least one of her children grew up loving veggies as much as she did (Dad hated them, but ate them because he understood their health value....and to keep Mom from telling him repeatedly that he needed to set a good example for the four of us 😁).
the glycemic index of raw carrot is about 16 or 17, and cooked carrot is about 40 to 60. And you have to eat quite a lot to get much carbs, so even cooked in small amounts should be not a big issue.
Fantastic clip.Thank you so much and so much Doctor Berg.I don't like carrot however you have listed so many benefits about carrot so i have to listen.
Wow what a coincidence! I just started. eating a large carrot a day. I was worried about it being a keto friendly veggie. So happy to hear that it is so beneficial.
I drink self pressed carrot juice every day with 2-3 brazil nuts. 1kg of carrots equals like 500-700ml of carrot juice - it is very tasty and gives me energy ! Everyone in my family wearing glasses and suncream - I am in my early thirties with a perfect vision (measured) and never use suncream
I have a bowel issue when eating raw greens/salads. Is it harmful to cook the carrots? I do snitch a piece or two of the raw when preparing them to cook. Thanks Dr B for your help with this and everything ❤️🙏🦋
When my kids were small and we went on a road trip, I always brought a big bag of prepared carrots and other veg. The kids could munch as many as they wanted and they did not get as thirsty as they did from salty junk snacks (with no nutrition).
Yay! Know that when you first start Keto you will lose a LOT of _water weight_ due to changes in your metabolism so you'll keep losing weight but not at _that high rate_ long term when you stick with it.
Dr Berg, question for your comment: I drink every morning Carrot Juice Powder, 1 T (12g) in unsweetened organic almond juice, along with Pea Protein, and some collagen powder. Take on an empty stomach. Carrot juice breakdown: Sodium 68mg, carbs 9g, potassium 358 mg, vitamin A 6,370mcg. Does this juice powder compare favorably with raw carrots?

Me: "How much life-saving advice can you put in one 5-minute video?" Dr. Berg: "Yes." Thank you! I never thought I'd go back to eating carrots. :D
So, I'll try and keep it short and summarized but, we'll see. Two years ago I had SIBO a very serious infection in the small intestine. After 7 ER visits and Doctor's insane advice/plus mis diagnosis.. I took matters in my own hands. After reading about the infection and dealing with Acute Gastritis on top of that. I removed all yeast, all sugar, all processed foods. The bacteria feeds off of sugar, hijacks your nutrients etc. Makes you feel very sick, and full of anxiety induced episodes. I ate nothing but fermented foods, and grass fed grass finished protein. And a cup of jasmine rice a day. 3 pieces of alaskan sokeye salmon a week. And alot of fruit and veggies daily. They doctor told me without a biofilm the bugs would just create a barrier and protect themselves. Well i removed them with a fermented diet and alot of blended fresh herbs in my daily diet. Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano Oil, Basil, Parsley, Extra Virgin Olive Oil.. on top of Aloe gel from the plant. I'm a big believer in nutrient dense foods like organ meats and herbs in every meal. Was wondering if you could do a video of alkaline foods vs acidic foods and what ph water is best for your system and why. I only drink 7.0 + alkaline water and cook with a reverse osmosis water sys. And see huge benefits. But maybe its my diet as well. Anyways love the content. And sharing my brief story with you.. Take care!
@@CalmVibesVee Yes, it took roughly a year to remove them with just a heavy diet based around protein and blended herbs.. See SIBO can give you alot of problems. One is def food intolerences. I had to be very careful of ingesting yeast, sugars, starches, etc. Carb intake was very low. The reason I didn't take the biofilms is the sickness around them and I just dont like taking pills of any kind. I had a functional gut health doctor give me a protocol i already had once i did the research myself.. Basically, i had bananas, aloe vera gel from the plant to help coat the stomach lining, egg yolks, with fresh parsley, and oregano oil.. And drinking 3 ounces of goat milk kefir a day. I cut out all bread and cheeses.. No nightshade vegetables of any kind.. Only fruits and vegetables with a high water ratio. Like squash and cabbage. Papaya, some berries. It was a very strict diet. No seasonings, no gravys, just plain grass fed grass finished meats. Alot of bison hamburger, and steaks., salmon and baked chicken with lots of fresh herbs. I usually baked everything. Nothing fried, and used extra virgin olive oil. On top of oregano oil.. I added high quality jasmine rice because it didn't stir up my symptoms which i thought was odd.. so i put that on the list. Only a cup a day. It was a process of elimination for the first few months, trying things, dealing with the sickness, and moving on.. I almost lost my job due to many callouts so i was put on FMLA. And SIBO will cause some severe anxiety induced episodes. I had to incorporate some form of exercise so i started walking everyday to help combat those feelings.. it was a good idea.. Presently, i haven't had any symptoms, ive added other foods back into my diet. And whats funny is i lost all my sugar cravings and cheese addictions.. I eat zero processed foods and only use fresh ingredients. herbs with every meal. My digestive system works so much better. Very regular and just feel better not eatting alot of toxins. No lectins, very limited plant based foods. Because they cause inflammation, and leaky gut.. It took alot of work to get were im at.. And pretty grateful. Because it taught me to be more aware of my diet and how to care for my body.. but man it was journey.. Sry for the long post.. 🤦♂️
I like carrots but it is one vegetable I just don't buy or eat regularly - as much as other vegetables. I'll start adding it to my salads. I love broccoli; I just started eating brussel sprouts after becoming an adult.😳 Thanks for sharing this video.
They add turmeric to the feed to make the yolks darker; you'd have to feed them a TON of carrots to get that effect, but carrots are good for them so go ahead and give them the peels you don't eat.
I use to do one large carrot juice 🥕 a day and it made my skin yellow. 😅 I have to stop for at least 8-12 months to let my skin change it back to normal.
I’ve been wondering about that and beets. I’ve started intermittent fasting just over 8 weeks ago. 6’2” at 210 now from 225 male 66. When I did 48 or lately a 36 hr fast my ketones got really high like well over 7 almost 8. Glucose early on was 100 ish now 90is and the last fast of 36 it got in the 70s but ketones were way high. I used to be a sugar eater big time. Cakes chocolate ice cream coke carbs. Now healthy keto. Second round of itchy skin. So I’m thinking many toxins to let go of. At some point I’ll be able to fast for longer than 48 or do a 36/12 for a week without the ketones getting so high. I’m putting carrots back in my salads. Maybe kick down the ketones first then do the longer fast.
The skin issues: Make sure you are getting enough fat on your keto journey. It can be counterintuitive, but keto does make room for more healthy fat than we usually eat.
I feel good after I have carrots, although I usually eat it with other food, which is recommended, of course, cause variety…. But I specifically noticed that it helps relax my stomach and body
You can do both, carrots like onions, tomatoes are so many staples that can be enjoyed both ways. Carrots raw in your salads or smoothies or just as snacks; cooked your sauces and soup especially chicken soup. We should just eat our vegetables.
Gerson therapy incorporates carrots daily as the main staple in their juicing protocol. They contain antibacterial, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties which enable them to act as a natural antiseptic and antibiotic in the gut, without all the unwanted side effects.
Dr. Berg - Thank you for all the information you share. It has been life changing for me. Quick question - When I'm fasting I tend to be urinating a lot - Is this ok? What is going on here? If you've covered this any of the other videos please point me to it. Thanks again.
To get a transparent view. What is your consideration of a medium carrot in grams? I live in the Netherlands and you in the US. Depending on the way of farming, UV-index, soil, nutritions used to fertilize; manoer for example, depends on the food of the animals and lots of other evolutionary factors of course. The carrot can differ quite a bit. To get to the point, what is your consideration of a medium carrot in a clear transparant (numbers) view?
Lol, hadn't thought of this. For all we know US carrots are 6 feet tall. After seeing the size of some of their chicken legs nothing would surprise me.
Dr. Berg I'm not sure if your aware that the volume on your channel is kinda low. I always have to turn my volume way up. I love your channel by the way :)))

Thanks for the video Dr. Berg. I have always wondered Why so many people heal from cancer eating raw carrots or drinking carrot juice when “everybody” says it’s too sweet for cancer patient. I have my answer. Thank you so much.
I’ve been seeing so many of your videos, Dr. Berg. And I feel for the first time that my symptoms have been understood. So, I had covid last year in August and since then I’ve been having anxiety attacks, bloating, burps and occasionally acid reflux after 1 hour of having food and constant horrible breath despite oral hygiene. I suspect I may have SIBO or gut dysbiosis. I’ve started intermittent fasting and it has been 5 days and I am already seeing improvement for the first time in 8 months. You have my gratitude. 🙏🏼
Your intimittent fasting is for how long. What is your window for eating
@@marthafernandesemoraes783
You may start with 16/8 and gradually shorten eating window even up to OneMealADay what is very beneficial. 🐞🐘🍀💖🌞
I started growing carrots in containers a few years ago , wow , homegrown fresh carrots are amazing! I use several 5 gallon cloth grow bags and each one gets a different variety . It’s also allowed me to try varieties not sold in grocery stores.
Can you tell me where you buy the seeds ?
@@pelonconstante6271 I’ve bought from migardener , baker creek , burpee , gurneys , or even just what they have had at the local stores . Use deep enough containers , surface sow on moist soil , place something directly on the seeds to block light and gently press into soil ….I just cut a couple layers of cardboard into the shape of the container and put some rocks on it and will also wet the cardboard a bit. Check on them regularly around when they should germinate ( the seed packet will say) remove the cover after they start to sprout and then when they start to really get growing thin them out so they can grow bigger and are not crowded . It doesn’t matter what variety you grow , they will be so much better than any store bought carrot . I like to try the purples , reds and yellows though .
I walked to the store and bought a 5 lb bag and a bunch of celery and will have one each per day now 😊
Thank you for clarifying the sugar content issue of carrots. I've been avoiding them but will now embrace them. Keep up the excellent videos!
Thank you! I hv been avoiding carrots since I started keto 4 years ago. I'm not going to go crazy but I will happily eat them now! Thank you Dr Berg
@helenketo251 great to know! Sounds super! Thank you!
Sure! Carrots one of the keto-friendly vegetables.
For lunch I had 1 carrot, 3 celery stalks, 20 tiny tomatoes, 1 orange sweet pepper, some herring and some 1,000 thousand salad dressing. Yum
Sounds delicious!
How great, my mum probably did not know this but she insisted on raw carrot and apples....and that is what I give often to my kid. We seem to be less ill than the average. Thanks Mr. BERG for your explanation. 😊
Wow; I didn't realize this at all. I put a whole raw organic carrot in my lunch salad every day - just because I like the color! Who knew it would actually have all these benefits! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
Was just thinking yesterday about making some spring rolls using shrimp, cabbage (green and purple), and carrots. Love that these foods are so healthy!
I've been drinking organic carrot juice for two weeks now and I can feel that it does something good to my body. I can't explain how but now I know after I watched this video. I should eat raw carrots but the organic carrot juice 8 fl oz daily is still better than no carrot at all. Thanks for the video.
Juicing it removes most of the benefit
Been drinking fresh raw carrot juice daily for well over a decade. Keeps me in great health and shape.
Is it better to eat the carrot or juice it ? Thank you
@@vinitachugani8657 both. You can grate raw carrot into a salad or juice and have a glass with your food. I also like to drink a couple of glasses with a side of mixed nuts as a light meal.
@@vinitachugani8657 if you dont juice it the unsoluble fibre will absorb toxins and carry them out of your body.
This is a powerful video, Dr. Berg, my mother had me eating carrots at a young age. I am ketogenic and the carrot along with the berries that I already eat will also be had to my staple of raw foods.
Thank you so much.
That's great to hear, thank you!
Raw carrots, and in particular the raw carrot salad with vinegar and salt, (see Dr. Ray Peat carrot salad) has completely transformed my digestion! I have experimented with many ways of getting raw carrot into my diet including adding shredded carrot to no-bake cookies.
It doesn't matter how you get them into your diet, just eat those raw
DR.Peat! 🥲
Thanks Dr Berg! Shared! I didn't realize there were so many great compounds! The only problem I'm having now is deciding which veggies to use in my GIANT salad every day... I have started switching around so I have room for my proteins! 😁
God has blessed us abundantly. Personally I have 8 staple veggies /fruits that I eat everyday in my salads and then have the 9th on rotation usually a cruciferous veggie then my protein is either eggs or tuna. My 8 standard are: avocado, tomatoes, carrot, red onions, bell pepper, parsley, cucumber, romaine lettuce.
For my 4 cruciferous red/ green cabbage, sprouted broccoli, watercress and rockets/ arugula.
My daily diet now looks like a list of Dr Bergs superfoods: tons of pasture eggs, grass fed buttered coffee, kefir, organic blueberries, avocado, garlic and a daily shot of high polyphenol EVOO in the morning (is this breaking my intermittent fasting?)…Mid 40s I want to get my diet right so hopefully I stay healthy into my senior years 🙏
Thank you for this reminder on what carrots can do for us! Back in the 70's my parents had a friend who was diagnosed with a gastric cancer. He was so full of cancer that his Dr just sewed him back up and told him to get his affairs in order as he only had at most a few weeks to live. He started juicing raw carrots everyday and that was all he consumed. A few months later he went back to his Dr. and was declared cancer free.
8 years ago I was blending a carrot, a small apple a few slices of beet and some greens and I felt amazing! With my busy life I have let that go and have recently seen my health decline. I need to get back to consuming my smoothie. It's a great way to get more veggies in my diet.
Awesome victory! Thanks for sharing. There is a cancer treatment called the Gersen protocol. Includes juiced carrots and a couple other points. I have heard other stories like this too. 🎉🎉🎉
@Bee 1984 Even after chemo, radiation and surgery. Yes
Cancer only come back if you get chemo or radiation because they don't treat the cause,but if you got cancer free by natural method than it won't come back as long as you ear healthy
I have started fermenting shredded carrot with my cabbage to make a super Kraut, which is what I put on my salad.
Sounds wonderful! Can you say how ? Id like to keep a steady batch going. Id eat it as a slaw. Thanks , very much to Dr. Berg for these videos. Finally, something is starting to work! I am very old and sedentarry from r.a., but am beginning to feel mych better and lost some weight.
@@lindakrumenauer1099 Quart jar...shredded carrot + finely cut cabbage, toss together, stuff tightly in jar with enough room for a weight, 2 Tablespoons salt (no iodine) with hot water, let cool and pour over vegies, cap with fermenting lid, let stand on counter for at least 3 days, or until cabbage turns translucent, then transfer to frig and start eating.
There is doctor in south america that is recommending a 5x5 treatment of carrot juice for GERD, Parasites, IBS and all sort of gut issues. Its 5 days, 5 cups a day (only 5 days), he also recommends adding some drops of Oregano Oil in each cup. People have tried it and they have improved big time. So this video further confirms this treatment. Note that the jiuce has to be made WITH the crust.
The crust?
@@kathy4015 Sorry if I expressed myself wrong. What I meant is that you should use an extractor to make carrot juice (not a blender) and you should not peel it. That's the point.

This video makes me so happy because i always make a salad with cabbage and carrots with olive oil as my dressing, i use to think it's only the cabbage helping my hormones, now I'm happy the carrot also contributes😊😊😊
one huge not commonly known or discussed benefit of carrots is the increase of GH in the body from chewing, lots of the foods we eat are soft and don't really stimulate the reaction from our body's to produce and secrete a substantial amount GH from eating. so if your diet is most comprised of soft easy to eat foods after about the 2 week mark of eating carrots daily you will most likely start feeling more energetic and less fragile.
May you please share the literature that talks about the effects of stress and cortisol on the thyroid gland, perhaps with a description of the cases?
I add them to my bolognese with celery and onions. No pasta required 😋

@meisterling Sounds delicious. Can you share your recipe ?
I have a restaurant that I love. Shredded carrots and shredded purple cabbage are offered as a substitute to pasta. It is a very popular substitute in a popular local restaurant.
Hello. Thank you for this research. I eat them everyday for the past 3 months. My bleeding from fibroids, have stopped. I've also stopped eating alot of foods that cause bleeding.

We can ferment carrots with sauerkraut or kimchi and still benefit from the bacteria on or in he carrots? And its sugar would have been eaten by the sauerkraut bacteria?
Yes and Yes. We ferment carrots all by themselves, too...all you need is salt water. Look up fermenting vegetables salt solution and you'll find the ratios. You don't need cabbage/sauerkraut with it.

Yes.🥕🥕🥕👍😎👍 "In fermentation, the sugars and starches are eaten by the bacteria cultures and converted to lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and more bacteria. Fermentation can be used to lower the dietary carbohydrate levels found in various foods." Cultures For Health
Dearest Dr Berg, many thanks for all you do, you have improved my life a thousand fold. I have suffered with afib for over a decade, becoming increasingly frequent over time to a point where even light exercise was impossible. Two weeks into taking coq10 on your recommendation and the relief is incredible. A thousand thank yous dear Chap.
So awesome to hear that!!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@carolschedler3832 I'm truly over the moon ! Blessings to you.
Dont forget to chew carrots very well or cut them into small pieces before eating. Digestion will be much faster and effective when softened.
maybe steamed is ok?
Pray and never give up!
I always heard that 🥕 carrots were all sugar, so I avoided them.. same with banana, and even celery..
Jack LaLanne used to say,
"If man made it, don't eat it."
Now our good Dr. Berg says carrots are good, so now I will start eating carrots again..
Hey Dr. Berg, could you do a video on how much of each of the common fruits we should eat per day, and how much would be too much?
🍎 🍏 🍌 🍊 🍇 🥑
Thank you! Juices recommended by Gerson's therapy contain mostly carrots.
Most vegetables in the order Apiales, will have the same or similar properties, all the veg you mentioned are in that order. One of my favorite is parsnips in soup and stews. It's a bit strong flavored for raw consumption, but from time to time I will eat a few bites.
Carrot raisin salad (can change the raisins for something else) is easy to make with a food processor. Just keep grated carrot in fridge next to your feta (or whatever) :)
Thank you Dr berg for info. You have a blessed day and everyone out there.
Hello dr Berg. I’m 17 yrs old and 108 kgs rn. Can I follow intermittent fasting? Is it safe to follow for a teenager. I’ve stopped snacking and eat only 3 meals a day as of now. Please do reply and lemme know. Also I would love to see a video from u explaining the foods that can be consumed while doin intermittent fasting for teens specially. And thanks for this video , I’ll definitely start adding carrots to my daily meals
@@OnMental cool Ty. Do u have Insta so v can connect and discuss more about this?
In your professional opinion, what are the best fruit and veg to make into a smoothie? Just got a new juicer and want to christen it with something healthy
This ESPECIALLY excites me because I just planted a new 🥕 garden... so excited to reap the benefits
Dear Dr Berg, thank you for such an informative and useful video; however, I have a question regarding the consumption of raw carrots: there is plenty of sources out there insisting that for better absorption carrots need to be cooked and eaten with some fat. What is your opinion on this view? Thank you.
Amazing never knew food like carrots had such amazing properties ❤❤❤ thank you so much dr berg !!❤❤
Glad you found it so helpful!
Wow, i'm happy to hear this! i feel validated. Depending on how big the carrot is, i put a part of it in my salad and the rest in my smoothie which is a mix of buttermilk, frozen kale, ginger, turmeric, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley sprigs and cuttings from green celery, especially the lower part which are very fivrous. And before i drink a glas of it i add 1 tbsp of ACV.
I never gave up carrots when I began keto four years ago. I like them far, far too much to give up. They, along with cauliflower and broccoli, steamed and then drizzled with Kerrygold butter----oh, man, that right there is a fabulous meal when I put it in a bowl along with buttered, tender stew beef. I love raw carrots, but my dentist told me not to eat whole ones due to one oddball tooth at the front that has an odd hole above it (not quite in the roof of my mouth, but directly under that). The filling is so fragile, something like biting into a carrot or anything that requires significant bite strength will shatter it.
But steamed carrot is just fine with me! I do eat raw shredded carrots, though. Just love that earthy taste. Made my mother so happy that at least one of her children grew up loving veggies as much as she did (Dad hated them, but ate them because he understood their health value....and to keep Mom from telling him repeatedly that he needed to set a good example for the four of us 😁).
I have 2 rabbits..they love carrots...I like stewed carrots with peppers and onions!
That's super cute. Enjoy there.
the glycemic index of raw carrot is about 16 or 17, and cooked carrot is about 40 to 60. And you have to eat quite a lot to get much carbs, so even cooked in small amounts should be not a big issue.
Fantastic clip.Thank you so much and so much Doctor Berg.I don't like carrot however you have listed so many benefits about carrot so i have to listen.
Grate it and mix it in with stuff you do like.
Dr i am eating like seven raw carrots and raw onions! You’re a great Doctor!
Wow what a coincidence! I just started. eating a large carrot a day. I was worried about it being a keto friendly veggie. So happy to hear that it is so beneficial.
Shredded Carrot in salads is very nice. Even Carrot and walnut or pecans cake muffins made with coconut flour or oatmeal is just amazing .
Thank you Dr. Berg! This is the kind of information that makes a real difference when making meal choices! So, so good! Thank you!
Reminder to chew carrots very well or blend them prior to eating. Like nuts, our stomach cannot digest them unless they are softened.
Carrot chicken stew is absolutely delicious! No worries, you don't have to fry anything to make carrot stew. Thanks so so much Dr Berg!
Carrots are also a root vegetable. Root vegetables grow in the soil which can contain lead and other heavy metals.
I drink self pressed carrot juice every day with 2-3 brazil nuts. 1kg of carrots equals like 500-700ml of carrot juice - it is very tasty and gives me energy ! Everyone in my family wearing glasses and suncream - I am in my early thirties with a perfect vision (measured) and never use suncream

When my kids were small and we went on a road trip, I always brought a big bag of prepared carrots and other veg. The kids could munch as many as they wanted and they did not get as thirsty as they did from salty junk snacks (with no nutrition).
Question is it better to peel a carrot or leave it whole for nutritionists?
I’m asking because I love peeled carrots:)
without peeling you get more friendly bacteria
You shouldn't peel carrots as the nutrients is under its skin. You can properly wash the. scrape it lightly

Yay! Know that when you first start Keto you will lose a LOT of _water weight_ due to changes in your metabolism so you'll keep losing weight but not at _that high rate_ long term when you stick with it.
I ferment carrots with ginger, I wonder if that would suffice?
*_'A Dr Berg a day', Keeps The Ailments Away. Just saying..._*
Dr Berg, question for your comment: I drink every morning Carrot Juice Powder, 1 T (12g) in unsweetened organic almond juice, along with Pea Protein, and some collagen powder. Take on an empty stomach. Carrot juice breakdown: Sodium 68mg, carbs 9g, potassium 358 mg, vitamin A 6,370mcg. Does this juice powder compare favorably with raw carrots?
Me: "How much life-saving advice can you put in one 5-minute video?"
Dr. Berg: "Yes."
Thank you! I never thought I'd go back to eating carrots. :D
I doctor , your right the carrot fresh juice I’m drinking every day and something change my eyes power and my health growing
So, I'll try and keep it short and summarized but, we'll see. Two years ago I had SIBO a very serious infection in the small intestine. After 7 ER visits and Doctor's insane advice/plus mis diagnosis.. I took matters in my own hands. After reading about the infection and dealing with Acute Gastritis on top of that. I removed all yeast, all sugar, all processed foods. The bacteria feeds off of sugar, hijacks your nutrients etc. Makes you feel very sick, and full of anxiety induced episodes. I ate nothing but fermented foods, and grass fed grass finished protein. And a cup of jasmine rice a day. 3 pieces of alaskan sokeye salmon a week. And alot of fruit and veggies daily. They doctor told me without a biofilm the bugs would just create a barrier and protect themselves. Well i removed them with a fermented diet and alot of blended fresh herbs in my daily diet. Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano Oil, Basil, Parsley, Extra Virgin Olive Oil.. on top of Aloe gel from the plant. I'm a big believer in nutrient dense foods like organ meats and herbs in every meal. Was wondering if you could do a video of alkaline foods vs acidic foods and what ph water is best for your system and why. I only drink 7.0 + alkaline water and cook with a reverse osmosis water sys. And see huge benefits. But maybe its my diet as well. Anyways love the content. And sharing my brief story with you.. Take care!
Are your sibo symptoms gone?
@@CalmVibesVee Yes, it took roughly a year to remove them with just a heavy diet based around protein and blended herbs.. See SIBO can give you alot of problems. One is def food intolerences. I had to be very careful of ingesting yeast, sugars, starches, etc. Carb intake was very low. The reason I didn't take the biofilms is the sickness around them and I just dont like taking pills of any kind. I had a functional gut health doctor give me a protocol i already had once i did the research myself.. Basically, i had bananas, aloe vera gel from the plant to help coat the stomach lining, egg yolks, with fresh parsley, and oregano oil.. And drinking 3 ounces of goat milk kefir a day. I cut out all bread and cheeses.. No nightshade vegetables of any kind.. Only fruits and vegetables with a high water ratio. Like squash and cabbage. Papaya, some berries. It was a very strict diet. No seasonings, no gravys, just plain grass fed grass finished meats. Alot of bison hamburger, and steaks., salmon and baked chicken with lots of fresh herbs. I usually baked everything. Nothing fried, and used extra virgin olive oil. On top of oregano oil.. I added high quality jasmine rice because it didn't stir up my symptoms which i thought was odd.. so i put that on the list. Only a cup a day. It was a process of elimination for the first few months, trying things, dealing with the sickness, and moving on.. I almost lost my job due to many callouts so i was put on FMLA. And SIBO will cause some severe anxiety induced episodes. I had to incorporate some form of exercise so i started walking everyday to help combat those feelings.. it was a good idea.. Presently, i haven't had any symptoms, ive added other foods back into my diet. And whats funny is i lost all my sugar cravings and cheese addictions.. I eat zero processed foods and only use fresh ingredients. herbs with every meal. My digestive system works so much better. Very regular and just feel better not eatting alot of toxins. No lectins, very limited plant based foods. Because they cause inflammation, and leaky gut.. It took alot of work to get were im at.. And pretty grateful. Because it taught me to be more aware of my diet and how to care for my body.. but man it was journey..
Sry for the long post.. 🤦♂️
I like carrots but it is one vegetable I just don't buy or eat regularly - as much as other vegetables. I'll start adding it to my salads. I love broccoli; I just started eating brussel sprouts after becoming an adult.😳 Thanks for sharing this video.

I'm growing carrots to experiment with m chickens and see if it will make darker yolks.
e
They add turmeric to the feed to make the yolks darker; you'd have to feed them a TON of carrots to get that effect, but carrots are good for them so go ahead and give them the peels you don't eat.
Give chickens🐔🐣 plenty of fresh greens to increase the lutein in their yolks. The darker the green the better!
Hello Berg-ette 👋🏻👋🏻
I buy bags of organic carrots that are all different colors, Yellow purple blue white and traditional orange
are baby carrots just as healthy as regular carrots?
I use to do one large carrot juice 🥕 a day and it made my skin yellow. 😅 I have to stop for at least 8-12 months to let my skin change it back to normal.
I’ve been wondering about that and beets. I’ve started intermittent fasting just over 8 weeks ago. 6’2” at 210 now from 225 male 66. When I did 48 or lately a 36 hr fast my ketones got really high like well over 7 almost 8. Glucose early on was 100 ish now 90is and the last fast of 36 it got in the 70s but ketones were way high. I used to be a sugar eater big time. Cakes chocolate ice cream coke carbs. Now healthy keto. Second round of itchy skin. So I’m thinking many toxins to let go of. At some point I’ll be able to fast for longer than 48 or do a 36/12 for a week without the ketones getting so high. I’m putting carrots back in my salads. Maybe kick down the ketones first then do the longer fast.
High ketone are good. Our brains love ketone.
The skin issues: Make sure you are getting enough fat on your keto journey. It can be counterintuitive, but keto does make room for more healthy fat than we usually eat.
I feel good after I have carrots, although I usually eat it with other food, which is recommended, of course, cause variety…. But I specifically noticed that it helps relax my stomach and body
I heard cooked carrots are more easy to absorb. Should we eat raw or cooked carrots?
You can do both, carrots like onions, tomatoes are so many staples that can be enjoyed both ways. Carrots raw in your salads or smoothies or just as snacks; cooked your sauces and soup especially chicken soup. We should just eat our vegetables.
Yesterday my dad bought 25 pounds of carrots and mom got mad cause it was too many and now what I have to do is show her this video.

To get a transparent view. What is your consideration of a medium carrot in grams? I live in the Netherlands and you in the US. Depending on the way of farming, UV-index, soil, nutritions used to fertilize; manoer for example, depends on the food of the animals and lots of other evolutionary factors of course. The carrot can differ quite a bit. To get to the point, what is your consideration of a medium carrot in a clear transparant (numbers) view?
Lol, hadn't thought of this. For all we know US carrots are 6 feet tall. After seeing the size of some of their chicken legs nothing would surprise me.
135 grames.
Thanks for your response man! This should give me a better view on what is considered the right amount😁
