Beetroot is one of the most healthy vegetables, with extreme medical advantages. They have proven abilities to battle cancer, and also contain an element named “betaine”, which stops inflammation. Beets are beneficial for your blood flow, liver, and cholesterol. They can work for the detoxication of the organism, and also against the process of aging.
You can eat beets in numerous ways: raw, in a juice, baked or cooked, they go well with deserts due to their sweet taste but we commonly use it in savory plates. Best is to also keep their leaves, apart from the roots, as they contain high potassium levels.
Some good reasons to eat them often go as follows.
Lower your blood pressure.
Beet juice can drop your blood pressure levels within hours of consumption. A study proved that a glass of beet juice made systolic blood pressure drop by 4-5 points.
Boost Your Stamina
If you plan on going for a workout, a beet juice can again work miracles for you. A person who has consumed beet juice before exercising could work out for up to 16% more.
Fight Inflammation
Betaine is found uniquely in beets; the nutrient protects your cells and enzymes from environmental stress, and thus fights inflammation. The “World’s Healthiest Foods” explained: “[Betaine’s]… presence in our diet has been associated with lower levels of several inflammatory markers, including C reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha. As a group, the anti-inflammatory molecules found in beets may eventually be shown to provide cardiovascular benefits in large-scale human studies, as well as anti-inflammatory benefits for other body systems.”
Anti-Cancer Properties
Phytonutrients is what gives beets their beautiful color, but it is also what gives them their anti-cancer properties. Various medical researchers use beetroot extract regarding the battling of cancer.
Detoxification Support
Beets are a great product to consume when aiming to detoxify your body, get rid of dangerous toxins, and purify your blood.
I got a periodic health check in December 2015 and was diagnosed with high blood pressure (220/110). I tried my doctor’s prescribed potassium medication and the DASH diet, but neither were very effective. I was DESPERATE when I turned to the internet and found the Blood Pressure Protocol (http://steamspoils.com/blood-pressure-protocol/ ). Months later, I am now predominantly organic, have a good BMI of21.7 and my blood pressure is back to normal. My advice to anyone out there is to focus on natural methods and cures FIRST.
Best thing ever!
