Beetroots are reddish purple coloured taproots that are edible and go by different names like table beet, red beet or garden beet.They are rich in potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamin B6, A, C, nitrate, etc. It can be eaten raw as a salad or cooked without peeling its skin to retain all the nutrients in it. Consuming it regularly can give you a lot of health benefits and some of the beetroot benefits are listed below.
Prevents Strokes
Beetroots, being rich in nitrates can reduce stroke, heart related diseases and blood pressure.
Antioxidant
Colourful fruits and vegetables are said to contain antioxidant properties, beetroot being red in colour contains beta cyanine, a very good antioxidant and can reduce LDL, also known as bad cholesterol.
Skin Benefits of Beetroot:
Not just the beetroot, but all the vegetables help the body to effectively fight against foreign invaders and ward off infections. Some vegetables help to lower the cholesterol levels, while others help to regulate high blood pressure. But when it comes to skin health, beetroot is an effective choice.
