The carrot juice molecule is like the blood molecule. Maybe this is one of the main reasons why carrot juice is so beneficial for the body. Moreover the cookware we use for food preparation, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the pesticide-sprayed on leafy greens we eat, can lead to an exposure to heavy metals, carrot fresh juice can pull these heavy metals from fatty tissue where they reside, bind them up, and discharge them from the system.
 
Fresh carrot juice has the ability to distribute other essential varieties of important nutrients also known as enzymes, which are the work force of our body. Carrot juice works as catalysts in hundreds of thousands of chemical reactions that occur throughout the body, and it has essential enzymes needed to digest food.

Fresh juices are a wonderful resource of enzymes. The freshness of juice is one of their key features, since enzymes are damaged by high temperature. Given that fruits and vegetables are juiced uncooked, the enzymes are still there when you drink the juice. Fresh Carrot juice provides enzymes to convert food parcels in the tissues of the body, and create energy at the cellular level. In fact, fresh carrot juice provides the enzymes necessary for most metabolic actions that occur in the body every second of every day.
