Beetroots or beets have been consumed since ancient Roman times for their many health benefits. The vibrant red and distinct earthy flavour of the beetroot is a common staple in Europe and in recent times, has risen in its status as a superfood worldwide.
Here are 6 reasons why you should pay attention to this precious red root.
#1 Beetroot And Your Blood Pressure
Beetroot contains nitrates which are needed to boost our body’s levels of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a gas that is naturally occurring in our bodies, which tell our blood vessels to expand and improve blood circulation. In doing so, our blood pressure can be maintained at healthy levels.
How much beetroot juice should you drink? We recommend one glass (250ml) of Rabenhorst Organic Beetroot Juice a day for good blood pressure management.
#2 Beetroot And Your Brain
Drinking nitrate-rich beetroot juice has been shown to help improve cognitive function. A study published in the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences has shown a correlation between drinking a unit of beetroot juice before exercise and improvement in brain function.
The ageing process of the brain is in tandem with our physical ageing.
When we drink beetroot juice, the nitrates get converted into nitric oxide, which helps to relax and dilate blood vessels. This in turn helps to bring more oxygen-rich blood into the brain and other parts of the body.

#3 Beetroot And Your Exercise Performance
Yet another reason why it is good to consume nitrate-rich beetroot juice. Thanks to the increased oxygen-rich blood circulating into our muscles, we are able to exercise more effectively and for a longer period of time. Thinking of keeping in shape? Rabenhorst Organic Beetroot Juice can help to increase your stamina when you consume 1 unit of beetroot juice just before exercise.
#4 Beetroot And Your Liver
Regular consumption of beetroot juice has been found to have a positive effect on the liver.
Beetroot has been used in traditional remedies to help activate liver enzymes and increase bile, which helps improve the liver’s detox function.
#5 Beetroot And Anti-Inflammation
Beetroot juice is also high in betalains which can aid in the reduction of inflammations in the body and protect against oxidative stress.
#6 Beetroot And Long Term Conditions Management
Beetroots contain the antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid, which has some links in lowering glucose levels and increasing insulin sensitivity in diabetics. This antioxidant has also been found to reduce symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, which is nerve damage related to years of prolonged high blood glucose.
While the evidence is limited, there have been some preliminary studies in animals that showed a reduction in cancerous cells because of the beetroot’s betalain pigments.
Why Should You Choose Rabenhorst Organic Beetroot Juice?
The benefits of beetroot juice are so widely shared these days and you can find information everywhere on the internet.
The best way is to consume the beetroot vegetable itself which is in its purest form. Perhaps not the most palatable for some of us, isn’t it?
