Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The intellect is what arrives at what is correct through reasoning, and recognizes what has not yet happened through what has already taken place.

A study in 923 people with colorectal cancer and in 1,846 people without cancer noted that women with high intakes of purple vegetables and fruits had a lower risk of colorectal cancer than women who ate less purple produce.

Other studies show similar results in both men and women.

Additionally, research suggests that diets high in all types of carrots may protect against breast cancer.

May Have Anticancer Effects
Studies show that the potent antioxidants found in purple carrots possess cancer-fighting properties.

A 12-week study in which rats were exposed to a cancer-promoting compound found that rats fed a diet supplemented with purple carrot extract had less cancerous development than those on a normal diet.

Similarly, test-tube studies observe that anthocyanins may inhibit the growth and spread of breast, liver, skin, blood, and colon cancer…

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The intellect is better than desire, for the intellect makes you a king over your destiny, and desire makes you a slave of your destiny.

Aside from anthocyanins, purple carrots contain other polyphenol antioxidants, such as chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid. In fact, purple carrots provide, on average, nine times more polyphenol antioxidants than carrots of other colors.

Polyphenols were shown to promote health and reduce your risk of heart disease, mental decline, and certain types of cancer.

Purple carrots are particularly rich in anthocyanins, which are antioxidants shown to protect against heart…

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The intellect is a king and characteristics are its subjects, so if it is weak in governing them, disorder takes place.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The intellect of a person becomes apparent through his dealings, and the character of a man is known by the way he exercises authority.

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 reduced…

Contain Powerful Antioxidants
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.

Anthocyanins act as anti-inflammatory agents by reducing potentially harmful compounds like pro-inflammatory cytokines. Reducing these compounds may lower your risk of certain conditions like heart…
