We all know the saying: “Healthy as a beet.”
It is rich in sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin C, K and B vitamins. It also has a high amount of folic acid and fiber.
Beets contain betaine in abundance, which supports liver function and prevents the formation of deposits in the arteries. We should not forget rubidium, cesium and anthocyanins, plant pigments that prevent the fragility of blood vessels.
In addition, some experts believe that beet juice can improve the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. A study conducted by Newcastle University in London revealed that supplementation with inorganic nitrates and beet juice helped reduce blood pressure. This could be beneficial for people at risk of cardiovascular disease.
