Description
Beetroot is thought to have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which may help reduce the risk of heart disease, as well as support gut health, lower blood pressure and potentially having anti-cancer effects.
The B9 vitamin folate, which is abundant in beets, supports cell growth and function. Folate is essential for preventing blood vessel damage, which lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke. Beets naturally contain a lot of nitrates, which the body converts to nitric oxide.
Health benefits of beets include more stamina during exercise, heart disease and stroke prevention, and lower blood pressure. You can roast, grate, or put them into soups and salads. If you're prone to kidney stones or gout, avoid beets or limit how much you eat.
