Snacking on baby carrots three times a week boosts skin carotenoids in young adults, linked with increased antioxidants and reduced chronic disease risk.

Snacking on baby carrots three times a week can boost skin carotenoids in young adults, a new study reveals. These levels of phytonutrients were further enhanced when paired with a multivitamin containing beta carotene. Higher skin carotenoid levels are linked with increased antioxidant protection and a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and certain cancers.
