Beetroots

This powerful vegetable, bursting with nutrients, offers numerous health benefits. It is rich in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur, iodine, iron, manganese, chlorine, and copper, as well as vitamins such as B1, B2, niacin, B6, B12, C, and beta-carotene. Its high iron and B12 content make it an excellent addition to the diet of those following a vegetarian lifestyle. Additionally, it is rich in flavonoids, natural sugars, and high-quality amino acids.

Beetroot acts as an excellent blood cleanser and supports brain, heart, and digestive health. It can enhance athletic performance, help reduce inflammation, and may even slow the growth of cancer cells.

Beetroot juice is particularly beneficial for those seeking to detoxify the liver and improve its function. To prepare a nourishing beetroot booster, juice 1 medium organic raw beetroot, 1–2 apples, and 2–3 medium carrots. Add a squeeze of lime juice to enhance its medicinal properties.

Attention! Beetroot contains high levels of oxalates, which can contribute to kidney stone formation in individuals at high risk. Consult your doctor before incorporating it into your diet regularly. However, steaming or boiling beetroot can help reduce its oxalate content.
