Nutritional benefits

• High in Antioxidants – Antioxidants are composites that help neutralize harmful free radicals, preventing oxidative stress and damage to your cells. Some studies have found that antioxidants could protect against many types of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Beets are naturally high in disease-fighting phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins and trace minerals.
• Relieve Inflammation – Inflammation is a normal response by the immune system that helps protect the body against foreign invaders and infection. The average person’s diet is very high in inflammatory compounds from ultra-processed foods, high amounts of sugar and low amounts of nutrients, so consuming foods like beets is an excellent way to keep inflammation in check.
• Promote Heart Health – Heart disease is a major problem around the world. Beets are a rich source of dietary nitrates, which act as vasodilators to aid in improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
• Aid in Detoxification – Your body already has its own built-in detox system that helps keep you healthy by continually clearing out toxins. Your kidneys filter the blood and produce urine, your lungs expel carbon dioxide, your skin pushes out particles through the pores, and your intestines extract nutrients and dispose of the waste. Your liver also plays a crucial role in detoxification by removing toxins and other harmful substances from the blood.
• Boost Brain Function – As we get older, it’s natural to experience a decline in mental and cognitive function as conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s become more prevalent. However, because of their high content of dietary nitrates, there is some evidence that beetroot benefits brain health and may help protect against age-related cognitive decline.
• Support Digestive Health – Beets are rich in fiber. Fiber moves through the intestines undigested, adding bulk to the stool to help support regularity and promote better digestive health.
• Enhance Athletic Performance – Beets have been shown to have a powerful effect on boosting performance and are one of the best foods for athletes. This is because nitrates have been shown to improve the efficiency of the mitochondria, which is the organelle responsible for generating energy for the cells in your body.
• Weight Loss – Beets are loaded with fiber but low in calories, making them a great addition to a diet if you’re looking to lose some weight. When you eat fiber, it moves very slowly through the digestive tract to help keep you feeling satisfied.
