Unexplained properties and benefits of Beet
Beet root improves the work of the nervous and digestive systems, and also maintains the integrity of the blood in the body.
As explained by endocrinologists, beets contain betaine, which makes them red. This substance in the process of digestion is transformed first into choline, and then into acetylcholine.
“This substance improves the transmission of nerve impulses from one neuron to another, and therefore positively affects awareness, activity and perception of new substances, and the central nervous system in general.”
In this product, not only the root crop is useful, but also the leaves. They contain fiber that has a positive effect on the intestinal microflora. With diabetes, you need to include leaves in the daily diet in the form of a salad, and it is better to eat only the root crop raw.
“When boiled, beets give us a large amount of simple sugars. Accordingly, it affects insulin resistance and worsens carbohydrate metabolism. Or, if a person is engaged in weight loss, then boiled beets will slow down the result.”
Beets contain vitamin C, which helps the body absorb iron. The best combination is beets and red meat.
“It can be said that beets have the ability to restore erythropoiesis (the process of forming red blood cells), and maintain the integrity of the normal functioning of blood, especially red blood cells and iron due to the action of vitamin C.”
According to experts, a safe dose of beets per day would be around 150 grams, fresh or cooked.
