Beets are believed to be an excellent liver tonic and blood purifier in holistic and eastern medicine.
Beet gets it red color from betacyanin which is a potent cancer fighter.
Beetroots are also great if you have iron deficiency as they are very high in iron.
Beet also makes you young. Beets are high in folate that fights with wrinkles and aging of the skin. Drinking beet juice on daily basis will help you have a healthy glowing skin.
Beetroots are rich in vitamin C, iron, manganese, folate, vitamin B6, betaine and potassium. The greens parts of beets are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, copper and calcium.
