What on earth do carrots have to do with detoxing? Well A LOT actually! Carrots are superstars when it comes to supporting our gut and hormone health!
The indigestible fibre you’ll find in carrots actually support in protecting the gut, and having grated carrots or raw carrot (if chewed well), can reduce the reabsorption of estrogen in the gut, as well as reducing the levels of bacterial endotoxins.
This is because of the fibre as well as the antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial properties which enable it to act as a natural antibiotic in the gut! Which is especially important when our body’s detoxification systems are overwhelmed!
We don’t want those extra estrogens or harmful bacterias to wind up crossing the gut lining and into the bloodstream! Or say goodbye to balanced hormones, optimal digestion and a regular metabolism!
