The most powerful health benefits of beets include its ability to lower blood pressure, prevent cancer, cleanse the liver, treat anemia, increase stamina, and boost libido. They also prevent macular degeneration, improve blood circulation, aid in skin care, prevent cataract, build immunity, and treat respiratory problems. These benefits of beetroots can be attributed to their richness in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
Beets are highly nutritious root vegetables that are a great source of vitamins and minerals such as folate, manganese, iron, vitamin C, vitamin B-complex, copper, and potassium. Rich in antioxidants, beets get their deep color from the betalain pigment, which has potent anti-inflammatory properties. They are also abundant in phytochemical compounds such as anthocyanins, carotenoids, lutein/zeaxanthin, glycine, and betaine. A great source of dietary fiber, they are low in fat, cholesterol, and calories; 1 cup (136 g) of raw beetroot contains 59 calories. However, beets have the highest sugar content of all vegetables and are relatively high in carbohydrates.
