Health Benefits
From reducing inflammation to improving heart health, beets provide many health benefits.
Reduced Inflammation
The stark red color of beets comes from compounds called betalains. Betalains have powerful antioxidant effects and can help reduce inflammation. Beets are also rich in nitrates, which reduce inflammation by removing harmful compounds from your bloodstream. This combination of betalains and nitrates makes beets a great choice for people with inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia.
Heart Protection
The nitrates in beets don’t just reduce inflammation, they also improve heart health. Nitrates have been shown to reduce high blood pressure. Beets are also naturally low in cholesterol and fat, which makes them a good option for people concerned about heart disease or stroke.
Increased Energy
Mitochondria are responsible for producing the energy your cells need to function. Studies have shown that the nitrates in beets help these cellular powerhouses function better. Some athletes even drink beet juice before exercising to improve their performance.
Nutrition
Beets are a nutrient-dense root vegetable low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy choice.
