Beet - A Great
Fighter Of Diseases
by Sharon Hopkins
Beetroot is one of the most common ingredients used in a salad.
With a hard exterior the sweet mouth-watering interior makes it
worthwhile to have this vegetable. There are different types of
beet like reddish-purple hue, other varieties like white,
golden-yellow or sometimes even multi-colored. It has a good
content of sugar in comparison to other vegetables.
Even though they are very high on sugar their calorie content
is very low. With the immense number of benefits it protects
you from heart disease, birth related short-comings and cancer
like colon cancer. It runs a long battle which is fought
against this cancer. Beets can be eaten in many forms such as
raw, juice, cooked and pickled.
The level of antioxidant increases in liver. The cholesterol
level also falls which is one of key areas of concern for many
cardiovascular diseases. People suffering from kidney or
gallbladder problems should avoid eating beet. People who want
to increase their calcium content should also avoid eating beet
as it may prove to be a hindrance in building calcium.
