Beetroot is also an incredibly healthy addition to any meal, with antioxidants, carotenoids and flavonoids which have been reported to help reduce absorption of LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol into the bloodstream, soluble fibre, which has also been shown to reduce cholesterol absorption, Nitrates, which have been proven to boost stamina so muscles can work harder, Mineral silica that has been reported to help the body utilise calcium and Folate which is great for expectant mothers.
Beetroot is virtually fat free and low in calories, and has a low GL (glycaemic load) which means it is converted into sugars very slowly and therefore helps to keep blood sugar levels stable.
