There are multiple benefits of beetroot and some of them are: Beetroot is a natural detoxifier and blood purifier. Beetroot is also rich in a variety of nutrients that are important for the immune system to work with full efficiency because beets encourage the production of antibodies that fight against the disease or infection inside our body. The white blood cells including leukocytes and phagocytes are responsible to fight against infection and beet helps them by providing nutritional support. Beetroot is also rich in iron and that is why it boosts red blood cells with required iron and facilitates the supply of oxygen towards the cells making our body healthy and young. Beetroot also contains manganese which is really necessary for the formation of interferon that is a potent anticancer substance and beet’s color is red because of the betanin pigment found in beet. This betanin pigment is also known as a prominent anthocyanin antioxidant that helps prevent heart disease and cancer by fighting free radicals in our body. Beetroot is also a beneficial antioxidant which provides better health and support for our liver and kidneys. Beetroot is high in fiber and is beneficial for the proper functioning of the heart and digestive system. It does not end here. There are a lot of other benefits of beetroot which I have discussed below one by one. Just keep on reading….
Beetroot can be eaten in several ways and it is easy to make a beetroot recipe. Betroot is a vegetable that has many properties. Betroot can also be eaten in salads just like carrots and onions.

Red beet also known as a garden beet or a blood turnip is a popular vegetable in the gardens of the world. The leaves or the neck of the beetroot commonly called as sugar beet are a really good source of vitamin A and the roots of the beets are an excellent source of vitamin C.
The neck of the beetroot or leaves can be cooked as green veggies, while the roots of the beets can be cooked whole or used in salads.
There are many other ideas and styles of cooking beets which you can easily found while googling for “beetroot recipes”. Beetroots can be steamed, boiled, microwaved, pickled, baked or eaten raw. As beetroots contain much more natural sugar than starch, they become very delicious when they are roasted in a hot oven because roasted beets help in concentrating the sugar instead of converting it into liquid when cooked.
Beetroots can also be used to make thirst quenchers. Have you heard about beetroot juice or drink? No, then for your information, you can make a delicious and healthy juice with beetroots. It is very easy to make one. Just check this out: Seven best homemade thirst quenchers

Thanks for adding up your expert knowledge on beetroot Anamika. Before you told me, I did not knew that the base chakra or root of beet is responsible for our survival, as I don't have any expertise in mantras, astrology, and spirituality.
I love cooked beetroot. I like it in sandwiches.
Yesterday I ate some chicken in the afternoon and was feeling a little awkward in my stomach so at night I ate only beetroot as my meal and slept well. In the morning, when I woke up I was feeling fine after freshening up. Actually my stomach was fed up of fried food and needed fiber intake so I provided it with eating beetroot as a salad.
Beets aren't one of my favorite vegetables, but I do like them grated into a salad.
And that's a wonderful way to get benefits of beetroot friend. I love beets in salad too.
I eat it daily with my sweet didi.. and it is also developing good relationship including my health.. so its too good.........
Thank you so much Himani for sharing the personal benefits you are having with eating beetroot.
Wow. I hadn't realised just what beetroot had. Thank you for the Hub.
It's my pleasure Garlic. A nice article indeed.
It's always interesting to see what foods can do to help naturally boost one's immune system. Another exciting find is elderberries. Recent clinical studies have proven that elderberry extract can boost immunity and help reduce the flu virus. Time and research will no doubt continue to find other beneficial foods to ward off illness.
Thanks a lot HerbalScience for giving us some insight into amazing benefits of elderberry herbal extract. I will definitely search, research, and publish what I learned about elderberry in one of my upcoming hubs.
Great info soni! I'll have to check it out!
Thank you Shane.
i like how it turns your bowel and urine red how that for knowing its goin to work
Yes, I remember one day when I ate a lot of beets in form of salad. The other day when I freshened up I saw the color of bowel turned dark red and I got really horrified due to this. I thought that I have blood in stool and was planning to call my doctor when I remembered that I ate quite a few beets yesterday and that's why the color of bowels is dark red. It was so funny for my family. They all were laughing at me that how stupid I am.

Hi Saima, I have searched for relationship of FSH and beetroots online and was not able to find any studies or researches that reveal controlling FSH with beetroot so it is my advice to check with your doctor regarding that.
It is always interesting and facinating to see what foods can do to help naturally boost pepoles' immune system. It is a great article!

I have been drinking beetroot drink daily for two months now and never knew that it was so beneficial to my health. I also read that it lowers cholesterol. I am looking forward for good results next time i visit my doctor.
Thank you so much all of you for sharing your experience with beets and its juice.
I have been having beetroot,carrot,celery and ginger juice for quite awhile now. My doctor is so impressed with my B/P and cholesterol improvement, but huffed at the juice being a "miracle worker". After several months and everything improving so well he asked me for the juice recipe so he could pass it on to other patients with B/Pressure problems. Now I am hoping it will help my dearest friend who has just been diagnosed with Terminal cancer.
My husband has an allotment and so we get lots of lovely fresh organic beetroot, I recently came across a recipe for a beetroot salad which I haven't tried yet but will soon, if it's good I will post it on my hub. I've posted a few recipes and I'd love to know what you think; http://eileengoodall.hubpages.com/_112qvdkcdu1s0/

I love beetroot and cannot get enough of the stuff ... I dont like it pickled so i buy beetroot in the vaccumed pack which is beetroot in their own juices (only 39pence from my local aldi store in the UK) and it is just sooo amazing ... i can eat it with anything but im having trouble finding the juice as i would love to try that ...
Very imformative article, thanks alot for posting it i will continue to tell everyone the great benefits from beetroot x
very knowledgeable..
even i will start taking beetroot with salad everyday!
I wasn´t a fan of beetroot until recently, when I started eating it roasted or raw in salads, and now I absolutely love it. A couple of days ago I invented a “raw beetroot, tomato and red bell pepper salad” that was a huge hit and decided to make a Hub out of it. While looking for backlinks, I found your hub on beetroot and I included it using the anchor text “beetroot”. Hope you don´t mind and thanks for writing good quality, interesting and useful hubs that allow me to use Hubpages' backlinking tool :) The hub is called “grilled salmon with beetroot, tomato and red bell pepper salad”, using the anchor text ”tomato”, if you are interested in checking it out.
Thanks again,
Cheers!
Does beetroot helps to get GLOW on face?

Nice writeup on Beetroot. Not one of my favorite vegetables but i do have beetroot juice in combination with carrots. Beetroot is associated with the root or base chakra which is responsible for our survival.
