  There is ancient wisdom buried in the 'doctrine of signature' that the shape or colour of food does determine what organ it is for, this reveals itself so bloodily in the beet root: it nourishes our blood and circulatory system.


A single serving of beets can boost your energy and lower your blood pressure. Eating beets long-term can help you fight cancer, reduce arthritic pain, and lose weight, as well as assisting in a number of other health areas as follow:
(1)  Anti-Inflammatory Benefits.
The inflammatory response is a natural function of the body which saves our lives when it responds to the acute stresses in our lives, like bacterial infection and injury. Due to the constant stress in our modern lives, however, this inflammation becomes chronic. It is as though our body is constantly in a battle. Inflammation has been linked to a number of symptoms and diseases including:
  • Wrinkles
  • Susceptibility to infections
  • Cancer
  • Arthritis
  • Bronchitis
  • Chronic pain
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Osteoporosis
  • Heart disease
  • Candidiasis
The blood-red betalains in beets have been shown to reduce chronic inflammation.

(2) Cancer Prevention
Preliminary tests suggest that beetroot ingestion can be one of the useful means to prevent lung and skin cancer. Other studies have shown that beet juice inhibits the formation of cancer-causing compounds called nitrosamines.


(3) Beetroot Juice for Low Blood Pressure
Reports show that drinking just two cups of beetroot juice on a regular basis can help in curing high blood pressure and maintaining normal blood pressure levels. As it contains good amounts of folic acid, vitamin C, potassium and silica, beetroot juice for blood pressure helps in lowering blood pressure and keeping your heart healthy.


(4) Beetroot Juice for Digestive Problems
Beetroot juice is also associated with improving the digestive health and body's metabolism. It aids in easy digestion of food, especially fat digestion and also stimulates the nerves in the intestine. The juice contains betaine, which stimulates the function of liver cells, and protects the liver and bile ducts. Hence, it improves liver, kidney and bladder functioning, as well as overall health.

(5) Beetroot Juice for Stamina
Drinking a glass of beetroot juice is considered as the key to boost stamina. This is because, beetroot juice contains high dietary nitrate content which is believed to be a source of biological messenger, i.e., nitric oxide, a compound that triggers relaxation and reduces oxygen uptake, making the person less tired or fatigued, especially after a workout.


(6) Beetroot Juice for Fighting Diseases
Research shows that beet juice helps in combating liver problems, diabetes, and even cancer by destroying the free radicals (chemical by-products that damage DNA). Also, it is a natural remedy for sexual weakness, kidney or bladder stones, weight loss, eye fatigue or tiredness, and menstrual problems in women.

(7) Beetroot Juice for Liver Detoxification

As per research conducted, the presence of betaine and methionine in beetroot juice plays a vital in liver detoxification. Fatty deposits due to excess alcohol consumption or protein insufficiency can be prevented with beetroot juice.

(8) Beetroot Juice for Constipation

For people who suffer from regular bouts of constipation, beetroot juice might just work for you. This is because, it consists of cellulose in very high amounts and its regular use will help in easing constipation.

(9) Beetroot Juice for Calcium Dissolution
At times, calcium deposits in the body harden the inner artery walls. Beetroot juice does wonders by dissolving these deposits, thus serving as a great solvent.

Apart from all these health benefits, beetroot juice benefits for skin are something which should not go unnoticed. It has the ability to assist against premature aging due to the presence of antioxidants. The juice is equally effective in treating skin disorders by rejuvenating dead skin cells and improving blood circulation.

Thus, we can say that beetroot juice helps in improving our immune system by increasing the body's resistance to various diseases and infections. I am sure after knowing the aforementioned beetroot juice benefits; you will not forget to incorporate this essential drink in your daily diet.
