Beetroot can not only be used to cook stews or boiled dishes but can also be juiced because it contains antioxidants and a series of vitamins and minerals necessary for the body.
Vitamin and mineral supplements
A glass of beetroot juice contains many essential nutrients for women. Rich in vitamin C, it supports immune function and collagen synthesis for the skin. Folate (vitamin B9) is essential for reproductive health and during pregnancy. Minerals such as potassium and manganese found in beetroot help increase bone strength.
Support disease prevention
This root vegetable is rich in antioxidants such as betalains and polyphenols, which help fight oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. These nutrients play an important role in maintaining healthy cells and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
Promote healthy skin and hair
The high vitamin C content in beetroot aids in collagen production, increasing skin elasticity and preventing wrinkles from forming. Its antioxidant properties also protect the skin from damage caused by UV radiation and environmental pollutants.
The iron, folate and antioxidants in beetroot juice strengthen and promote the growth of healthy hair follicles, reducing hair loss.
Increase athletic performance and endurance
Nitrates help improve the efficiency of oxygen use during exercise by improving the function of mitochondria in the muscles. As a result, people who exercise regularly can reduce fatigue and increase endurance when running, cycling, and aerobics.
This drink's ability to improve blood flow and oxygen supply to muscles also reduces muscle pain and helps the body recover faster.
Improve heart health
Older women are at higher risk of heart disease. Nitrates found in beetroot juice can lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing the load on the heart. This effect is good for women at risk or with high blood pressure.
Drinking beetroot juice regularly has the effect of improving cholesterol levels, especially reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) and increasing good cholesterol (HDL), preventing cardiovascular disease.
Increased cognitive function
Nitric oxide derived from nitrates in beetroot juice increases cerebral blood flow, cognitive function, memory and decision-making ability.
Betalain antioxidants and phenolic compounds have anti-inflammatory properties, protecting brain cells from oxidative stress, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
