Beetroot is one of the most underrated foods. The list of its positive effects on our health is very long.
It detoxifies the body mainly by supporting liver function in three ways.
The pigment betanin supports liver cells and also helps process fats, preventing fatty liver. It also supports the production of detoxifying enzymes, especially catalase, glutathione, and superoxide dismutase (SOD). These enzymes significantly reduce oxidative stress in the body.
Raw beetroot also contains oxalic acid, which dissolves inorganic deposits in the body. These contribute to many chronic diseases such as arthritis, kidney stones, some eye diseases, varicose veins. Beetroot helps treat them.
Maximum therapeutic effect is achieved by consuming raw beetroot, either as juice or salads. When drinking juice, do not be afraid of a detox crisis – by drinking it, many deposits are released from the body, and the body must eliminate them. Therefore, it is recommended to drink small amounts of juice more frequently.
We can dilute it with water, carrot juice, or combine it with other vegetable juices according to taste. People with diabetes must especially divide the dosage into small amounts because fruit and vegetable juices can quickly raise blood sugar levels.
