Anthocyanins have also been shown to protect against mental decline.

A review of seven studies demonstrated that certain mental outcomes — including verbal learning and memory — improved in children, adults, and older people after eating anthocyanin-rich foods.

Additionally, population studies suggest that an increased intake of anthocyanin-rich foods lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes.

Imam Ali (AS) says: "This day is an Eid for a person whose fasting and standing for worship has been accepted by Allah, and every day is an Eid in which there is no disobedience to Allah."

A review of 24 studies showed that people who eat anthocyanin-rich diets had significantly improved blood flow and better blood vessel function than those who did not.

Poor blood flow and inadequate blood vessel function are common causes of heart disease — which is why improving these risk factors may lower your risk of certain heart conditions.

Another large study in more than 34,000 women associated eating 0.2 mg of anthocyanins per day with a significantly…

Anthocyanins are polyphenol antioxidants that have many impressive health benefits.

Diets high in anthocyanin-rich foods — such as purple carrots — may protect against certain health conditions, especially those related to inflammation.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said:Fasting in the month of Ramadan is a shield against the chastisement.

Imam Kazim said: “The stomach is the home of every illness, and abstinence (from food) is the chief of all medicine.”

Oxidative stress has been linked to health conditions such as cancer, mental decline, heart disease, and aging.

Purple carrots are loaded with nutrients like fiber and potassium. In addition, like other other purple fruits and vegetables, they contain potent antioxidants called anthocyanins, which benefit your health.

Anthocyanins belong to the polyphenol family of antioxidants and are found in purple fruits and vegetables like blackberries, grapes, purple potatoes, purple cabbage, and purple carrots

Antioxidants like anthocyanins help protect your body from oxidative stress, which refers to an imbalance between reactive molecules called free radicals and antioxidants in your body.

Since sins are usually committed via the tongue, the eyes, the ears, the stomach or the unleashing of sexual desires, Imam Sajjad (PBUH) considers the philosophy behind fasting to be restraining oneself from committing sins. The Imam considers fasting to provide a veil over our body parts that will prevent them from engaging in sin.

Nutrition
All carrots — independent of their color — are packed with a variety of nutrients, such as fiber, potassium, vitamin C, manganese, vitamin A, and certain B vitamins.
Additionally, they’re relatively low in calories, with 1 cup (128 grams) of raw carrots delivering just 52 calories.
What makes purple carrots nutritionally unique is their content of the antioxidants anthocyanins.

Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (a) said: Fasting is a protection from the fire.

Red and purple carrots are considered Eastern varieties, while yellow, orange, or white carrots are known as Western-type carrots.

The Eastern-type carrots have been largely replaced by the orange Western types that are common in today’s grocery stores.
