Deeply nutritive brightly coloured vegetables such as Beetroot are important where cellular health is involved, reducing oxidation in the cells and supporting in their regeneration.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other benefits reported by include the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and chemo-preventative effects. Red beet is a significant source of polyphenols, which together with the betalains, show a high antioxidant effect and radical scavenging capacity (1,4,5).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green leaves and stems are a perfect solution in obesity problems and weight management, as they are typically low in calories. The high level of vitamin A, K and C is important for physiological processes involved in bone health. Green leafy vegetables are a major source of iron and calcium in a healthy diet which are important in preventing chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as they have anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic activity (1, 4, 5). Beetroot leaves are also used to reduce blood pressure.<\/span>","into_the_heart_of":"<img class=\" wp-image-5138 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i.herbalreality.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/21124906\/111122_beetroot-2-1200x800-1-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"411\" height=\"274\" \/>Beetroots have a broad nutritional profile including a wide range of vitamins, minerals and organic compounds such as betain, carotenoids, iron, folic acid, phosphorous, potassium, anthocyanins and nitrates. It is the betain that is responsible for beetroots\u2019 vibrant red colour.\r\n\r\nBeetroot has a specific affinity for the blood, which is indicated in its bright red colouring. Beetroot is naturally protective for our heart and blood vessels. Naturally occurring nitrates in beets, are converted into nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide helps to relax and dilate the blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Beetroot is also natural source of potassium which dilates blood vessels and contributes to an overall lowering of blood pressure. Nitric oxide also improves oxygen uptake within the body, making beetroot a favourable food with athletes for improving endurance and stamina during exercise.\r\n\r\nIn addition to boosting cardiovascular functioning, beetroots are high natural sources of Vitamin A, silica, iron and folic acid. Vitamin A protects against macular degeneration of the eyes and conditions such as cataracts as well as being a valuable antioxidant. Silicahelps the body to utilise calcium, an important component for musculo-skeletal health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Last but not least, iron and folic acid can help support a healthy pregnancy.","tradtional_uses":"<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beetroot is a popular vegetable in many parts of the world, usually consumed as a food to gain its medicinal and nutritional properties. It has been used since Roman times to treat various medical conditions, including fever, constipation, digestive illnesses, and blood conditions. In ancient Rome, it was also used as a blood tonic and an aphrodisiac.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditionally, beetroot is used in Africa as a supportive treatment of AIDS and other illnesses. Beet leaves also have a long history of use for medicinal purposes; it is alleged that Hippocrates promoted the use of the leaves for treatment of wounds.<\/span>","what_practioners_say":"<h3>Cardiovascular<\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beetroot contains high levels of antioxidant compounds and nutrients making it an excellent healing food that supports the health of the entire circulatory system, from the smallest microcapilliaries to heart itself. Beetroot leaves are also used to reduce blood pressure (1,3).<\/span>\r\n<h3>Cellular health<\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beetroot is often recommended by herbalists for those with inflammation in the mucous membranes, mild to moderate cell abnormalities or as a prophylactic (4).<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beetroot is powerfully antioxidant, inhibiting<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lipid peroxidation and eliciting chemo-preventative effects (1).

Although they are both responsible for the deep red colouring of the plant, they are also antioxidants.

The mechanism of action is based on the stability to manage the oxidative stress involved in the origin and aggravation of cancer. Betaine also has an antiproliferative action along with the induction of cell apoptosis (1, 4, 5, 7).<\/span>\r\n<h3>Cardiovascular<\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Betain specifically supports Phase 2 detoxification processes in the liver. This process breaks down toxins that are bound to other molecules enabling them to be efficiently excreted from your body. So, betain is valuable for supporting detoxification and helping to purify your blood and your liver. Betaine also lowers the levels of homocysteine in the body which can affect blood vessel structure. Increased levels of betaine can also, therefore, protect the health of our heart and blood vessels preventing the onset of conditions such as atherosclerosis.<\/span>\r\n<h3>Obesity<\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An in vitro study investigated the effects of beetroot juice and chips on oxidative metabolism and apoptosis in neutrophils from obese individuals.

Beetroot products inhibited neutrophil oxidative metabolism in a concentration-dependent manner. Additionally pro-apoptotic effects of beetroot were observed at a concentration range of 0.1\u201310% in a 24 h culture of stimulated neutrophils (6).<\/span>","did_you_know":"The generic name\u00a0<em>Beta<\/em>\u00a0derives from the Celtic\u00a0bett\u00a0meaning red.
