::-*The right beets for you
Members of the Chenopodiaceous family, beetroots are found along the
coasts from India to Britain. A versatile vegetable, if there ever
was one, beetroots are hailed for their richness in minerals, vitamins
and nutrients. A great source of carotenoids and lutein/zeaxanthin,
beetroots are also known as sources of dietary fibre, folic acid,
Vitamin C, iron, potassium , manganese, zinc, copper , and magnesium.
If that isn't enough, here's some more: beets are low in calories and
yet are the sweetest vegetables in themarket. So much so, they're even
occasionally used to make refined sugar.
Beetroot and its health benefits
Stronger heart: Beet fibres reduce cholesterol and triglycerides by
promoting higher levels ofHDL, which aids in fightingheart diseases.
Beetroots also contain betaine that helps reduce levels of
homocysteine, which may increase the risk of strokesand heart
diseases.
Watch Dr Devi Shetty talk about tips to prevent heart diseases.
Breathe freely: This Vitamin C-rich vegetable helps prevent symptoms of asthma.
Healthy babies: Beetroot is a great supplement during the pregnancy
period. Folic acid, the mostabundant nutrient in beetroots, is crucial
in the proper foetal development during pregnancy, and the development
of the infant's spinal column.
Prevent anaemia: Iron in the beetroot increases the production of
blood and haemoglobin levels in the body, thus preventing andcuring
severe anaemia .
Happier you: The betaine contained in the beetroot enhances the
production of the body's natural mood lifter, seratonin, andcan help
you cheer up. Really!
Stronger immune system: Beetroots pack a punch with the vitamins and
nutrients stored within. They boost the body's immune system and help
fight off infection. They also aid in stimulating the reoxygenation of
cells andthe production of new blood cells.
Beta-carotene goodness: The beta-carotene abundance in beets helps
avoid macular degeneration and prevents age-related blindness, known
as cataract.
Cure for hangover hell: The pigment that gives beetroot its rich red
colour, beta-cyanin, is an oxidant that accelerates detoxification in
the liver and converts alcohol into a substance that can be eliminated
more easily. So the next time you're readyto vow never to drink again
after a binge session, hold off till you're a beetroot down.
Word of caution
*. Though not a frequentoccurrence, beetroots may cause red colour in
urine or stool, known as beeturia.
*. Since an increased consumption of beets also means an increased
intake of fibre, it may cause bloating, gas or diarrhoea.
*. Beets can contain up to nearly 14g of sugar in one cup, so
patientswith blood sugar problems may seek medical supervision.
Quite like everything else in life, even beetroots require moderation.
Small concerns apart, you can't deny all the reasons to welcome this
lush vegetable into your kitchen. Use it for salads, soups, juices,
dips, or even in cakes! The choices are endless, and your reasons to
hold out, too few/
