Fruits and vegetables should form the foundation of a healthful diet, but about 90 percent of American adults don’t eat enough vegetables, and 80 percent don’t eat enough fruit, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Drinking 100 percent juice, such as carrot ginger juice, as part of a balanced diet can help you boost your fruit and vegetable intake. Read all about the benefits of ginger and carrot juice and how it could fit as a part of a healthy lifestyle.

3 Carrot Ginger Juice Benefits

A serving of carrot ginger juice has plenty of nutrients. Here’s a closer look at some of the potential health perks.

1. It May Support Immune Function

Carrot and ginger juice may support a healthy immune system, thanks to its supply of vitamins A and C.

Vitamin C supports immunity by helping to produce white blood cells and protecting these cells from damage.

 A 4-ounce serving of carrot juice packs 11 percent of the recommended daily value (DV) of vitamin C.

 A cup of fresh ginger has about 5 percent of your DV of vitamin C. However, when juiced, the vitamin content of ginger may decrease.

Vitamin A is best-known for supporting healthy vision, but it’s also important for immunity.

 Just 4 ounces of carrot juice packs 125 percent of your DV of vitamin A.

2. It May Benefit Your Skin

Carrot ginger juice benefits the skin too. The vitamin C found in the juice helps boost collagen production, a process needed for wound healing as well as to keep your skin strong.

A 4-ounce serving of carrot juice also contains 9 percent of your DV of vitamin E. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps prevent cells in the body (including the skin) from free radical damage that can contribute to wrinkles, among other issues.

 It also helps reduce inflammation and boost immunity in the skin.

3. It’s Linked to Good Heart Health

Research suggests that regularly consuming ginger may help prevent obesity and vascular issues, while supporting healthy blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.

 As a result, it may help prevent cardiovascular disease and keep your heart healthy.

Fresh Ginger Juice Health Benefits

Ginger juice on its own can be bitter and spicy, so you’ll often find it mixed with sweeter juices, like carrot or apple juice.

However, ginger boasts many potential benefits, whether you consume it on its own or with another juice. Fresh ginger juice’s health benefits include:

  • It’s anti-inflammatory.
  • It may help relieve pain.
  • It may help soothe an upset stomach.
Ginger juice also contains beneficial nutrients, including:

  • Fiber
  • Vitamin C
  • Copper
  • Potassium
  • Magnesium

The Takeaway

  • Drinking carrot ginger juice can help boost your intake of important nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and E.
  • Potential health benefits of carrot ginger juice include improved immune function, healthy skin, and cardiovascular health.
  • Fresh ginger juice by itself may help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support digestion.
