Benefits Of Beetroot

Benefits Of Beetroot for Your Immune System

Beets strengthen your immune system in a plethora of ways. For instance, they are an excellent source of vitamin C, a micronutrient that promotes healthy cells and boosts the immune system. Beets are high in iron, a mineral that boosts the functionality of immune and non-immune cells. Folate in beetroot is also beneficial for healthy cells and a stronger immune system.

 How That Could Help You Live Longer

Beets are loaded with antioxidants that reduce inflammation. This prevents life-threatening conditions, including cancer, heart disease, asthma and type 2 diabetes at bay and Alzheimer’s disease.
