Despite all its beneficial properties and qualities, beets should not be consumed every day to avoid trouble.
In such cases, experts talk about hidden risks.
Let's find out what contraindications the root vegetable has and how often it can be eaten.

Due to the high oxalate content, frequent consumption of beets can cause kidney problems, such as the formation of stones.
These same substances interfere with the absorption of calcium and also provoke the formation of oxalate stones.
Secondly, sugar
Beets can be dangerous because of their high glycemic index. Eating them can increase blood sugar levels.
If you have diabetes or are predisposed to the disease, eating beets is also dangerous to your health.
The feeling of hunger and cravings for sweets may become more acute, which will cause weight problems.

Due to the abundance of fiber, beets can cause bloating, diarrhea, and also allergies - skin rashes, itching and other troubles.
