Benefits
Amaranth juice has long been considered a superfood thanks to its rich vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content, helping to improve blood circulation, increase endurance and bring bright and smooth skin.
However, according to nutritionists, drinking beetroot juice on an empty stomach should be carefully considered, especially for people with intestinal problems.
Rashi Chahal, a nutritionist at Fortis La Femme (India), said that beetroot juice is rich in vitamins B9, C, folate, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc.
The high nitrate content in this juice when converted into nitric acid will help blood circulate better, bringing oxygen to the organs.
Drinking a glass of beetroot juice 30 minutes before breakfast or before exercising, combined with a few drops of lemon, can help the body absorb iron, vitamins and antioxidants more effectively, said Ms. Rashi Chahal.
Amaranth juice has many positive effects on health:
- Helps lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular indicators.
- Increase endurance by increasing oxygen and nutrient supply to muscles.
- Helps reduce fatigue after exercise.
- The fiber in beetroot juice also aids digestion, helping the intestines function regularly.
Possible risks
In addition to the benefits, experts warn against overusing. Drinking too much beetroot juice, especially on an empty stomach, can cause:
- Bloating, acid reflux due to fiber irritating the intestinal lining.
- Risk of kidney stone formation due to high oxalate content.
- Unwanted effects on people with low blood pressure or taking medication.
Note
According to nutritionist Rashi Chahal, beetroot juice is completely safe if used properly.
However, women with digestive problems, kidney stones or are being treated for cardiovascular disease should consult a doctor before including them in their diet.
Cerve juice should be considered an addition to a balanced diet, not the only solution, says Rashi Chahal.
For healthy people, drinking a small glass of beetroot juice in the morning can help the body become full of energy, increase endurance and improve overall health.
