Nutritionists recommend that their patients include beets in their diet.
The whole point is that this root vegetable has powerful antioxidant properties and has excellent nutritional value.
Katerina Padolka spoke about this in more detail, writes RT .
As the nutritionist noted, beets contain a minimal amount of fat, only 43 calories per 100 grams of product.
The vegetable contains many useful elements, for example, iron, manganese, potassium, zinc, vitamin A and folic acid.
All this helps the body to function normally.
The doctor noted that it is recommended to eat beets raw, in which case more vitamin C is preserved.
If you choose the heat treatment option, it is better to boil the root vegetable.
But at the same time, you need to remember about contraindications. It is better to refuse beets if you have kidney disease.
It is important to remember that the vegetable contains oxalates, which can lead to the formation of kidney stones.
