Unlocking the Power of Beets: A Nutrient-Rich Vegetable with Countless Health Benefits
These earthy root vegetables aren’t just tasty, they are also nutrient-rich, low in calories, and sport many potential health benefits. For starters, beets are rich in iron and can be beneficial in preventing and improving iron-deficiency anemia. Due to the naturally occurring nitrate content, beets may also improve blood pressure and brain health and can be beneficial for exercise and athletic performance. Additionally, beetroots may have a liver-protective effect due to their high levels of the amino acid betaine.
Lastly, and arguably most importantly, beets are known for their heart health promotion. These anti-inflammatory veggies contain nitrates, potassium, antioxidants, phytochemicals, plant sterols, and dietary fiber, all of which play a big role in protecting our main blood-pumping organ. At a time when cardiovascular disease is on the rise, making dietary changes like adding beets to your meals is a great option. Let’s get cooking!
