Beetroot is beneficial for the human body:

Beetroot has been known and used by mankind since ancient times, the reason being that its beneficial properties for the body were quickly recognised. Beetroot is alkalizing, an excellent antioxidant and helps red blood cells to form, detoxifies the intestinal tract, regulates the metabolism and can even be included in the diet.

It has excellent antioxidant properties. It is particularly good for the liver, the body's most important detoxifying organ. Free radicals are formed in the liver during the breakdown of toxins, which are neutralised by the antioxidant properties of beetroot. One hundred grams of beetroot already covers 10 percent of the daily recommended fibre intake. Beetroot contains high levels of folic acid, which can help prevent a number of developmental disorders such as spina bifida in early pregnancy and is therefore particularly recommended for pregnant women.
