All these are benefits that almost all of us know. But now, according to a report by experts, women who drink beetroot juice daily can improve their heart health after menopause.
Menopause Booster!
Yes, women need more nutrients than ever during menopause. As health begins to decline with age, it is important to take care of the heart as well as the body as a whole.
During such times women should drink a glass of beetroot juice daily. The minerals in beetroot seem to be especially effective during menopause, improving bone health.
Good for the heart
“Beetroot is naturally rich in nitrates, which play an important role in dilating blood vessels, transporting oxygen to the body and increasing its absorption in the body.
Helps control blood pressure. It is rich in antioxidants called betalains that reduce free radicals produced by oxidative stress and inflammation, affecting heart health,” says nutritionist Vrithi Srivastava.
“Also, beetroot is a source of estrogen-boosting phytoestrogens. During menopause, estrogen levels decrease, leading to high blood pressure and increased inflammation.
The folate in beetroot helps improve mood, producing neurotransmitters that reduce the risk of depression,” she says.
“Cardiovascular changes are common in postmenopausal women. In addition, they experience insulin resistance due to low estrogen levels. It affects the functioning of blood vessels.
So, consuming a glass of beetroot juice every day can increase nitric oxide levels, and increase blood flow, says Dr. Biju, Chief Medical Officer, Virots Wellness Solutions.
In what form is it good to consume beetroot?
“Beetroot is always best consumed with other vegetables or fruits. If you want to consume it in juice form, mix it with carrot and ginger to make 200 ml.
Or add beetroot to salads, eat it in yogurt or as a condiment. Grated beetroot can also be added to dosa, or idli sampan,” says Biju. For people with diabetes, it is better to take beetroot with other vegetables instead of consuming beetroot juice.
