Not only rich in vitamins and minerals, red beetroot also contains biological compounds that are beneficial for the liver.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), red beetroot extract can reduce liver damage due to oxidative stress and improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes, thereby contributing to protecting liver cells. Research shows that beetroot helps increase natural antioxidants such as glutathione and catalase, which are important factors in liver recovery.
In addition, scientists also said that beetroot contains betaine, a natural compound that has the ability to protect the liver and support fat metabolism; betaine can help reduce liver damage caused by oxidative stress and improve liver function in research models.
However, experts also note that beetroot is not an immediate antidote, the liver is a natural organ that helps the body detoxify, so foods like beetroot only play a supporting role and cannot replace medical treatment.
To take advantage of the benefits, experts recommend using boiled beetroot, juiced or cooked soup 2-3 times a week. However, people with kidney disease, low blood pressure or taking medicine should consult a doctor before using it regularly.
