Health benefits of organic beets**

Drinking beetroot juice is a great way to experience the amazing health benefits of organic beets. These colorful taproots can:

Support healthy cardiovascular function – Beets can support a healthy heart thanks to their high concentrations of magnesium, potassium and heart-healthy phytonutrients. A study that appeared in the journal Hypertension reported that drinking at least one cup of beetroot juice every day can help you maintain healthy blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range.

Support healthy cognitive function – According to a 2017 study published in the Journal of Gerontology, drinking beet juice helps support healthy blood flow to the brain during exercise. Beets are also loaded with antioxidant betalains that can protect your brain cells from oxidative stress. Furthermore, beets are rich in nitrates that support healthy brain function.

Support healthy liver function – Beets are an excellent source of a non-protein amino acid called trimethylglycine (TMG), also known as betaine. Betaine can help you maintain a healthy liver by supporting optimal fat metabolism. Beets also contain high levels of betalains, iron and vitamins A and B6 that support your body’s natural ability to eliminate toxins. 

Support healthy immune function – Beets contain an abundance of immune-supporting nutrients, such as folate, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc and vitamins A and C. The potent antioxidants in beets can also support healthy immune responses and help protect your body from harmful free radicals.

Support healthy digestive function – Beets contain high levels of both soluble and insoluble fiber that help nourish friendly gut bacteria and support regular bowel movements, respectively. Beets are also naturally abundant in betaine, which can help maintain healthy stomach acid levels that are already within the normal range. 

Support healthy eye function – Just like carrots and other brightly colored vegetables, beets are loaded with antioxidant plant pigments, such as lutein and zeaxanthin. These beneficial compounds help protect your eyes from oxidative damage and support healthy vision. Beets are also an excellent source of vitamin A, a nutrient that's crucial for maintaining optimal eye health.

Support a sensible weight management plan – Beets are low in calories but high in nutrients, such as dietary fiber, folate, betanin, magnesium, potassium and vitamin C. Because of this, beets can help support sensible weight management goals, especially when accompanied by a well-balanced diet and regular exercise.
 
Support optimal athletic performance and recovery – Many athletes consume beets to support optimal physical endurance and healthy muscle recovery after exertion. According to a 2017 study published in the journal Nutrients, beetroot juice can support optimal athletic performance due to its high nitrate content. Additionally, the nitrates in beets can support healthy blood circulation during exercise.

Naturally uplift your mood – Beets contain high levels of betaine, which can support a positive mood, and tryptophan, which can help calm the mind. Because of these components, beets are often used in TCM to naturally elevate one’s mood. 

Beets are loaded with potent antioxidants**

Like most brightly colored vegetables, beets are naturally abundant in a variety of beneficial antioxidant pigments that can help neutralize free radicals and support good overall health. Among these antioxidants are betalains, which are responsible for the vibrant red color of beetroots. Some of the most well-known betalains include betacyanin, vulgaxanthin and the natural red colorant, betanin. According to a study published in the journal Nutrients, betanin has the highest antioxidant activity among betalains.

Beets also contain high levels of antioxidant carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidant compounds are commonly found in bright orange carrots. Other antioxidants present in beets include betaine, glycine, polyphenols, anthocyanins, phenolic acids and vitamins A and C. Together, these potent antioxidants can help protect your body from oxidative stress and support optimal health.

One of the best natural sources of nitric oxide**

Nitric oxide is an important molecule that your body needs to maintain healthy cardiovascular function. However, your body can only produce a limited amount of this key substance. To get optimal levels of nitric oxide, you need to acquire it from external sources.

Just like spinach, carrots and cabbages, beets are also an excellent source of nitrates. When you consume nitrates, your body converts them into nitric oxide. Because of this, beets can provide a number of health benefits, such as supporting optimal stamina, exercise performance and muscle recovery. Regular consumption of beets can also help you maintain healthy heart and brain functions. In fact, many athletes regularly drink organic beet juice in order to optimize their workout and support their body’s natural production of nitric oxide.

HEALTH TIP: You can maximize your daily workout routine by drinking a cup of fresh organic beetroot juice at least 90 minutes before you exercise.
