Beetroot, which is an underestimated vegetable on a daily basis, is rich in nutrients and has many healing properties. In everyday life, it is used mainly for consumption, sugar production and animal feed. What are the properties of beetroot and which nutrients can be supplied to the body with it?
Beetroot nutrients
Beetroot, which usually seems like an inconspicuous vegetable, is a rich source of minerals such as magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron and phosphorus, and two little-known elements – cesium and rubidium. The beetroot’s composition is also supplemented with B vitamins, vitamins C, A, E, K, dietary fiber, antioxidants and folic acid. Most of the nutrients of beetroot are found in the pressed juice, as cooked beetroots lose most of their nutrients. Beetroot is a low-calorie vegetable with only 100 kcal per 43 g. Beets owe their healing properties primarily to the huge amount of anthocyanins and flavonoids, i.e. dyes: betaine and choline, which have properties that inhibit the growth of tumors.
You can introduce drinkable beetroot into your daily diet. For this purpose, order Bioherba sourdough with lemon, turmeric and ginger available on Medonet Market at a promotional price in bottles of three different sizes or in a set of shots for 7 days.
Health properties of beetroot
The health benefits of beetroot have been known since antiquity. The first information about beet growing can be found in documents from Babylonia. Beets were grown not only for food, but also for health purposes. In Poland, it is assumed that beetroot appeared on tables around the XNUMXth century.
The main properties of beetroot, which it owes to its high vitamin C content, are the prevention of infections and colds. Due to the vitamin B1 content, beetroot has a positive effect on the cardiovascular and muscular systems and improves memory. Enriching the daily diet with beetroot helps to balance the body’s water balance, supports the bones, strengthens the teeth and supports the functioning of the brain. Beetroot is often used in the diet of people who struggle with overweight and obesity, want to lower blood cholesterol levels and suffer from heartburn.
YANGO beetroot extract is a completely natural supplement, without any admixtures. To take advantage of the beneficial powers of beetroot, you can try this supplement.
The pigments contained in the beetroot have antioxidant properties that support metabolism, which results in the removal of harmful toxins from the body. Beetroot consumed by women during menopause allows oxygenation of the heart, soothes hot flashes, reduces the number of troublesome migraines and lowers blood pressure.
You can also benefit from the nutrients of beetroot by selecting a supplement in capsules with red beet root extract. We also recommend BIO beetroot powder, which you just need to mix with water or juice and drink regularly to strengthen the body. You can also buy beetroot juice 100% Szczepanówka or beetroot leaven, which are available at favorable prices on Medonet Market.
Beetroot in the daily diet
Beets can be eaten in a variety of ways. It is not difficult to find many recipes that use beetroot roots or leaves in a variety of ways. The beetroot itself and, in the case of a young plant, its gnarl is a perfect addition to soups, salads, main courses and even desserts. It is best to eat beetroot in its simplest form, i.e. after it is peeled raw. Very often, in order to preserve its nutritional properties, freshly squeezed beetroot juice is eaten. Boiling beets causes us to get rid of its valuable nutrients, so a much better form of heat treatment will be to bake it with the skin, which we remove just before eating.
Remember not to overdo it with the amount of beetroot in your daily diet. Beets contain nitrates in their composition, which in excessive amounts may adversely affect blood parameters and lead to anemia, which is harmful especially in pregnant or breastfeeding women.
