The Wonders of Beetroot

God is so gracious. He made everything we need as human to survive available in the garden of Eden ever before creating the first ma. One of those things is beetroot. Unfortunately, due to ignorance, humanity suffers. One of such ignorance is the limited are lack of knowledge of what beet can do in our body.

 Beets are highly nutritious and “cardiovascular health” friendly root vegetables. Certain unique pigment antioxidants in this root as well as in its top-greens have found to offer protection against coronary artery disease and stroke; lower cholesterol levels within the body, and have anti-aging effects.

Seriously, one of the first known uses of beets was by the ancient Romans, who used them medicinally as an aphrodisiac. And that’s not just urban legend, science backs it up. Beets contain high amounts of boron, which is directly related to the production of human sex hormones.
A number of studies have shown that consuming beets can improve your athletic performance. Drinking beet juice caused a 38 per cent increase in blood flow to muscles, particularly “fast twitch” muscles that affect quick bursts of speed and strength.

Additionally, a recent study found that runners who ate baked beets before a 5Kilometre race ran five per cent faster. The magic ingredient: nitrates, a natural chemical that increases endurance and lowers blood pressure.

Botanically, this tuberous root vegetable belongs in the Amarathaceae family, in the beta genus. Its scientific name is Beta vulgaris. Swiss chard is another member in the beta genus grown for its edible leaves.

Garden beet is very low in calories (provide only 45 kcal/100 g), and contain zero cholesterol and small amount of fat. Its nutrition benefits come particularly from fiber, vitamins, minerals, and unique plant derived anti-oxidants.

The root is rich source of phytochemical compound, glycine betaine. Betaine has the property of lowering homocysteine levels within the blood. Homocysteine, one of highly toxic metabolite, promotes platelet clot as well as atherosclerotic-plaque formation, which, otherwise, can be harmful to blood vessels. High levels of homocysteine in the blood result in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and peripheral vascular diseases.

Raw beets are an excellent source of folates. It contains about 109 µg/100 g of this vitamin (Provides 27 per cent of RDA). However, extensive cooking may significantly deplete its level in food. Folates are necessary for DNA synthesis within the cells. When given during peri-conception period folates can prevent neural tube defects in a baby.

Fresh tubers contain small amounts of vitamin-C; however, its top greens are rather excellent sources of this vitamin. 100 g of beet greens provide 30 mg or 50 per cent of RDA. Vitamin C is one of the powerful natural antioxidants, which helps the human body scavenge deleterious free radicals one of the reasons for cancer development.

Additionally, the top greens are an excellent source of carotenoids, flavonoid anti-oxidants, and vitamin A; contain these compounds several times more than that of in the roots. Vitamin A is required maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin and is essential for vision. Consumption of natural vegetables rich in flavonoids helps to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.

The root is also rich source of B-complex vitamins such as niacin (B-3), pantothenic acid (B-5), pyridoxine (B-6) and minerals such as iron, manganese, copper, and magnesium.
Further, the root compose of moderate levels of potassium. 100 g fresh root hold 325 mg or 7 per cent of daily requirements. Potassium lowers heart rate and regulates metabolism inside the cells by countering detrimental effects of sodium.
