Among the many healthy fruits and vegetables that are available to us, there is one product that stands out for one amazing reason. Beets, they are not the discovery of the century. They have been used as powerful remedies in treating various diseases for many years. However, the knowledge of their abilities to heal has only gained popularity recently. Aside from being absolutely natural and genuine, beets are beyond healthy for the human body and contain an extensive amount of healthy properties. Their red color derives from a substance called anthocyanin, which also has a few cancer-fighting qualities. Beets also contain betaine, which is a natural anti-inflammatory that encourages cardiovascular health.

Aside from this, beets also possess other very helpful vitamins and minerals, such as the vitamins B1, B2, B12, C, copper, magnesium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, and iodine. All of which our bodies need in order to heal. In addition, beets enable improvement of the blood circulation and balance the cholesterol levels, while stimulating the liver performance at the same time. Beets provide many other health benefits as well including:

Detoxification

Eating these on a regular basis can decrease the risk of a stroke by up to 21%. Who would have thought such a tiny little vegetable held so much power?
