FUN FACTS!

NINE UN-BEET-ABLE FACTS!!

HEALTHY LIVER

Beets contain betaine which is amazing for your liver; it stimulate the cells and work to keep it healthy. A healthy liver can break down fats, aid weight loss.

BLOOD PRESSURE

Beets may help to lower blood pressure! They contain potassium and nitrates, which balance out the negative effects of salt and help to flush it out of your system.

INCREASED SEX DRIVE

Since Roman times, beets have been viewed as an aphrodisiac. It contains high amounts of boron, which is directly related to the production of human sex hormones.

HEART HEALTH

Beets are rich in potassium, which is one of the main minerals responsible for muscle contraction, including the contraction of the heart. A diet rich in beets and other potassium-rich foods can help decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

'BAD' CHOLESTEROL

The antioxidants present in beets, including carotenoids and flavonoids, can limit the harm that too much cholesterol in the blood can cause. Through helping prevent LDL or “bad” cholesterol from being oxidized, antioxidants help prevent the build up of harmful, artery-clogging plaque.

PRENATAL CARE

Folic acid is crucial to the development of a baby’s spinal cord and can help prevent spinal cord defects, such as spina bifida. Women who are pregnant or trying to conceive can get 70% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of folic acid from three raw baby beets.
