Cleanses the Liver

A 2016 study found that drinking carrot juice is beneficial for treating liver injuries caused by consuming high fructose corn syrup, as well as reversing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The fiber in carrots also absorbs bile, which contains liver toxins, and helps your body eliminate it.

 Glowing Skin

Beta-Carotene, one of the antioxidants found in carrots, inhibits free radicals and fat oxidation. This helps prevent skin aging and excessive dryness. This compound also prevents sun-induced damage while lycopene, another compound, improves the appearance and softness of skin (6). It may even help diminish the appearance of scars and blemishes.

 Strengthens your Bones

Vitamin K, found in large quantities in carrots, works with vitamin D and calcium to increase bone density by positively affecting calcium balance (7). These compounds also speed the recovery of broken bones.

 Increases Metabolism

Carrots are rich in B vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, and folate (8).

The B vitamins help your body metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins as well as burn stored fat within your body. It also plays a role in bulking up muscle mass to increase energy expenditure during and after workouts. Thiamine, for one, assists the conversion of carbohydrates into energy (9).
