Question 1

why do carrots give me hiccups?

Accepted Answer

Swallowing air?: Can't be sure, but I suspect the hiccups may result from the way you are eating the carrots, rather than the carrots themselves. Could you be swallowing air and/or eating too fast?

Question 2

why do i get hiccups when i eat raw carrots?

Accepted Answer

I do not know: Everyone is created different and maybe carrots cause an irritation of your phrenic nerve that innervates the diaphragm causing you to hiccup.   Avoid carrots if you do not want to hiccup.  Good luck.

Question 3

why do i get hiccups after eating carrots? usually anytime i eat raw carrots

Accepted Answer

DON'T know: Hiccups are the uncontrolled contractions of the diaphragm muscle (which controls breathing). This fetal reflex is thought to get the 'new born ready to breath' before birth.
In you, raw carrots happen to be a trigger. It is probably the
texture of the food impacting the esophagus (food pipe). I guess you have to eat them cooked.

Question 4

how are carrots beneficial to the body?

Accepted Answer

Beta carotene: They are a good source of vitamin A, beta carotene, which helps prevent blindness. They are also high in fiber. Vitamin A and antioxidants protect the skin from sun damage.

Question 6

can eating carrots improve your eyesight?

Accepted Answer

Vit A: Its not going to reverse it , but it definitely helps with night vision. Might slow down progression.

Question 7

are baby carrots or regular carrots healthier for you?

Accepted Answer

No difference: Baby carrots are actually regular carrots which have been cut to resemble small or "baby" carrots.  Carrots are a very healthy snack but the only way to get a benefit is to eat them.  Therefore "baby carrots" probably win out because they are conveniently packaged and don't need skinning or trimming and people are more likely to eat them.

Question 8

can you hurt yourself from hiccuping?

Accepted Answer

UNLIKELY: The hiccup is a process that is triggered when your breathing muscle spasms. A variety of theories have been offered as a cause, but the effects are the same. The sudden contraction of this muscle group followed by relaxation is uncomfortable to some, but would rarely have any untoward effect. In medicine we know well to never say never.

Question 9

why do people hiccup?

Accepted Answer

Spasm: A hiccup is a sudden involuntary contraction of the diaphragm. They can happen if the phrenic nerve (the one that innervates the diaphragm) is irritated, but most often we have no idea why hiccups occur.

eating too much, alcohol and  carbonated beverages, sudden temperature changes, excitement or emotional stress.
