Health Benefits of Beetroot Juice
I love beetroot. I have some reasons why you should like it too.
Beets have many benefits to the body. It is claimed they have the ability to:
• clean and build the blood
• lower blood pressure
• improve circulation
• calm the nerves
• improve the health of the liver, kidneys, and bladder
• clean the intestines
• fight cancer
• improve menstrual problems
• cure anemia
A recent small scale study at Exeter University in England, U.K. found that drinking beetroot juice improved the endurance of athletes.
Caution: Beet greens and to a lesser extent beet roots are high in oxalate, and are generally considered unsuitable for people following a low-oxalate diet. Anyone with a history of oxalate-containing kidney stones should avoid over-consuming beetroot and beet greens.
