Beets are very nutritious and one of the ultimate blood building foods! They are rich in iron. Their vibrant color is an indication of high antioxidant levels.
*Some studies show beetroot juice supplementation may lower blood pressure and increase blood flow.
*Beets are rich in vitamins C, A and K, which contribute to good bone health, along with several other B vitamins, which may protect against dementia and memory loss by improving blood flow to the brain.
Fun fact: Beets contain nitrates which increases oxygen uptake, lengthening the time it takes to become fatigued, which allows people to stay active longer.
