THE BEET: THE GREAT ALLY OF OUR HEART

Beetroot, also known as Beta Vulgaris , is a vegetable characterized, among many other things, by its powerful pink color. Although at first glance they may not look alike, they are part of the Chenopodiaceae family, like chard or spinach.

It is believed that it began to be cultivated in the middle of the 2nd century BC, so our ancestors were already enjoying its benefits. Today, its most important producers are Italy and France.

This is a food that divides the population: you either love it or hate it. Here we bring you a list of reasons why you will start to love it or fall in love with it even more.

You probably know beetroot for its color, but what good things can it bring to your dishes besides adding a nice pink hue? Grab a pen and paper and take note:

• Among its benefits, it stands out for its nitrate content , which increases the production of nitric oxide that dilates the arteries, improving circulation. See study here
• It is an important source of minerals , such as phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and B vitamins .
• Due to its iron content , it can be a complementary food in diets for women during menstruation and pregnancy . We know that a large amount of this mineral is lost during menstruation and in the case of pregnant women, it is a source of folic acid that can complement (always under the instructions of a specialized doctor) the supplements necessary for this beautiful stage.

• Despite its high nutritional density , it has a low calorie content so it is also suitable for people who want to control their weight.
• It also helps regulate intestinal transit as it has a high percentage of fiber.
• It promotes a healthy inflammatory response, which is why it is beneficial for preventing fluid retention.
• Beets contain betaine and tryptophan , which makes them the perfect ally for taking care of your mental health.
• Betalains are not only responsible for the striking color of this food, but thanks to their high antioxidant content, they can help our immune system by binding to red blood cells and protecting them from oxidative damage and destruction.
• Preserves the endothelial function of our body. See study here
• It helps improve sports performance . Recent studies show that this improvement in performance in professional athletes is closely related to the increase in resistance provided by nitric oxide that I mentioned in the first point, a powerful vasodilator that increases blood flow in the muscles and therefore the amount of oxygen in them. See study here

Almost nothing, right?

There are multiple ways to consume this food: you can eat it raw, boiled or steamed.

If you don't want it to lose many nutrients, you can cook it yourself, including the skin and leaves. You will then clean it once it has finished cooking. However, if you are one of those who doesn't like getting your hands dirty in the kitchen (because of its striking reddish colour), you can buy it already boiled and packaged and add it to your favourite dishes: salads, smoothies, vegetable creams or seasoned with olive oil and a little salt.

As you can see, it is a very easy food to include in our daily life, so there is no excuse not to start eating it.

But… what if there was an even more comfortable way to take it?
