Beets are very healthy, but some people should not eat them.
We tell you who should exclude beets from their diet.
Who shouldn't eat beets?
Firstly, beets are contraindicated in cases of urolithiasis and cholelithiasis.
Beets contain large amounts of oxalates, which contribute to the formation of stones in the urinary and biliary tract.
Secondly, it is not recommended for people with diabetes to eat beets. Beets contain sugar and have a high glycemic index.
Thirdly, you should not eat beets if you have gastrointestinal diseases. Beets have a laxative effect.
You should also avoid beets if you have hypotension. Eating large amounts of beets can cause a sharp drop in blood pressure.
A healthy adult can eat 100-200 grams of beets per day.
