Beetroot and is you make of it. It can definitely be a bland vegetable that nobody likes to eat.
I love that beets are packed full of nutrients such as iron, calcium, folate, fiber ...etc.
I always make sure to have beetroot at least once a week, I make a 2 day batch and have it for lunches and dinners.
You may be wondering about the health benefits of a beetroot salad.
The one I and my whole family can vouch for is/ a quick relief from constipation.
Don't be alarmed if you urine or feces get pigmented as it's totally normal.
I advise you to eat beetroots to test your digestive system to measure how long the food you eat passes through.
My doctor told me that pregnant women's digestive system slows down and that can lead to constipation.
I had to do the beetroot test and I can confirm that the remainder of the beetroot salad was still present even 5 days after ingesting it.
If you suffer from recurrent constipation, this is the best way to incorporate a stool softener into your regular diet.
