The evidence of beetroot dates back to Neolithic civilizations in both Egypt and the Netherlands. Ancient Greeks cultivated beetroot in 300 B.C. and only ate the leaves; they used it for both binding and dressing wounds. They ate it for a longer life and considered it to be worth its weight in silver. The Romans used it as a laxative and to cure a fever.
Beetroot powder is loaded with nutrients, including:
- Protein
- Fiber
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B6
- Folate
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Manganese
- Iron
Beetroot powder is high in nitrates and coverts to nitric oxide in the body. Its many health benefits include:
- Protects cells from damage.
- Relaxes blood vessels.
- Improves circulation.
- Decreases blood pressure.
- Strengthens the heart.
- Increases endurance.
- Helps you to power through high-intensity workouts.
- Reduces recovery time.
- Boosts brain health.
- Fights inflammation.
- Supports liver health.
- Encourages weight loss.
- Helps erectile dysfunction (by increasing nitric oxide just as Viagra does).
