We all know that carrots are good for our eyes, but they’ve got a lot more going on than that. Carrots can do a lot of the things those of us with fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) need.
Carrots contain substances called carotenoids — in fact, they’re the single best source of them. Carotenoids fight cancer and reduce your risk of heart disease, and while this is controversial, some doctors believe ME/CFS increases your risk of both. It’s also worth noting that XMRV, the retrovirus tentatively linked to ME/CFS, may be tied to a particularly aggressive form of prostate cancer.
