Many people unfairly ignore beets, although this root vegetable is actually a storehouse of nutrients for the body.
Beets can be eaten raw or as part of various dishes.
Endocrinologist Ekaterina Yang told Russians about this on her Telegram channel.
The doctor reminded that the vegetable is a valuable source of the following substances necessary for the human body:
- fiber;
- minerals and vitamins;
- malic, citric, tartaric organic acids, etc.
This vegetable, rich in its composition, has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, making blood vessels elastic and thereby improving blood flow.
However, the heart is not the only organ of the human body that is friends with beets.
The root vegetable contains betaine, which is responsible for the bright color of beets. And it is this that helps transform toxins into a more soluble form so that they are not deposited in the body, but are removed from it.
