Beetroot contains many important biological compounds such as betalain, betaine, natural nitrate and vitamin C. These are factors directly related to the liver's protective mechanism.
Apricot extract can reduce liver damage caused by oxidative stress by restoring endogenous antioxidant pathways and regulating cell function.
This is especially important because oxidative stress is the core cause of many liver diseases such as fatty liver or hepatitis.
Not only that, beetroot juice is also rich in plant nitrate - a compound that when entering the body will be converted into nitric oxide (NO).
Nitric oxide helps dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation, thereby supporting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the liver better.
Betaine helps reduce fat accumulation in the liver by promoting fat metabolism and limiting the formation of fatty liver.
A diet rich in nitrate from vegetables is associated with a lower risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
The recipe for cooling beetroot juice can be built in the direction of optimizing biological compounds: 1 fresh beetroot; 1/2 apple (supplemented with polyphenols); 1/2 carrot (rich in beta-carotene);
1 small slice of ginger (mild anti-inflammatory); 150-200 ml of filtered water.
Press or grind, drink immediately after processing to limit vitamin loss. This formula not only provides vitamins but also creates a diverse "antioxidant complex", supporting the liver according to many different mechanisms.
However, the liver is a very effective self-detoxifying organ. The role of food including beetroot juice is to support a favorable biological environment for the liver to function better, rather than replacing the natural detoxification function.
The use of beetroot juice also needs to be noted. The oxalate content in beetroot may not be suitable for people at risk of kidney stones.
In addition, studies also show that the benefits of plant nitrate depend on the overall diet and lifestyle, not on a single food.
