A glass of freshly squeezed beet juice not only helps you wake up in the morning but also strengthens the immune system and normalizes blood pressure. The benefits of beets and their juice were discussed by dietitian and health specialist Samantha Greener.
According to Samantha Greener, the nutrients found in beet juice can protect the body from colds during the winter and activate brain function in the morning.
“Beet juice is a true concentrate of beneficial substances, including folic acid, minerals, as well as vitamins C, A, and B6. Additionally, it contains nitrogen-containing compounds that promote the dilation of blood vessels and increase blood flow to the brain, which enhances its functioning. Consuming juice in the morning helps you wake up faster,” the expert claims.
Beet juice also helps normalize blood pressure and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Some antioxidants, such as betalains, have anti-inflammatory properties and help cleanse the body of toxins, reports the portal Only my health.
“Athletes often choose beet juice. The active substances contained in this drink help saturate cells with oxygen. However, it should be noted that after juicing, the juice should sit for 2-3 hours, and it is better to introduce it into the diet in small portions,” advises Samantha Greener.
The dietitian recommends consulting a doctor before regularly incorporating beet juice into your diet. Due to its high concentration of nutrients, it may cause allergic reactions.
