Feeling healthy and jump starting your immune and gut health starts from the ground up. You need to put good fuel in your body before you can start your engine, and there’s no better gut and immune fuel than beetroot powder. Beetroot powder contains all the amazing benefits of beetroot but in a more concentrated form. Beetroot contains fibre, vitamin B6, vitamin C, folate, magnesium, iron and potassium…so, basically just about all the good stuff. The plant nitrates within the beetroot contain antioxidants which will help protect your heart. It’s also what gives our gorgeous Ruby Kraut its beautiful colour, as beetroot is also a great natural dye. Here a few facts that you may not have known about the little old beet, and what it can do for you and your body:
Beetroot benefit #1
It helps to reduce, and sometimes stop altogether, inflammation in the body (1). Because of its amazing betalain pigments that are a powerful source of antioxidants, beetroot powder has shown to be a significant and promising therapeutic treatment for clinical pathologies like heart disease and other cardiovascular issues due to how beetroot powder can assist in oxidising the blood!
Beetroot benefit #2
Once again, due to the way that beetroot powder oxidises the blood, it’s also been shown to help brain and exercise performance! (2). This study has shown that the participants who consumed beetroot and beetroot powder had a higher brain and exercise function! This also contributed to better brain performance all round and has assisted in brain performance in ageing and dementia patients. Make Love Organics Ruby Kraut part of your morning routine, pop some on your eggs for breakfast and see how it increases your brain and body stamina throughout the day while at work, school or at the gym.
Beetroot benefit #3
Beetroot powder can help your liver. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has emerged as one of the biggest liver diseases due to western diets and their contribution to obesity (3). This study shows that after just 12 weeks of beetroot powder supplement, participants showed a significant decrease in liver size. Beetroot powder can also assist in helping to regulate healthy weight management, or ensure that regardless of your body size, your overall health is at its optimum and functioning just the way it should be.
