Yes, Carrots, vegetable and fruit, their nutritional values are very high.
Why I specifically mentioned carrots is on the basis of alarming rate of eye defects alot of people are suffering, taking of carrots and fresh tomatoes which provides vitamin A helps in correcting this eye defects naturally with having to suffer it.

It is highly advisable to add vegetables to most of this processed foods and most of them lacks this nutritional value and balance in them. And Nutritional supplements should be taken regularly to supplement where there may be any deficiency in the nutrition.

Good nutrition is a lifelong commitment. From childhood through old age, eating a balanced diet can enhance quality of life, prevent disease, and promote longevity.
