Beetroot is one of the best among vegetables, a source of vitamins and beneficial minerals that do not disappear during cooking or heat treatment, and has a positive effect on our body and in particular on blood. The benefits of using beets are invaluable, but you need to know how to use them properly. Let us understand whether the beets have any "effect" on the blood and consider the most popular recipes of traditional medicine using this useful vegetable. In addition, we will tell about who benefits from the use of beets, and who better to abstain.
How does the blood and its composition?
The presence of folic acid, iron and other essential substances involved in cleansing and renewing blood in a beet has a very positive effect on blood composition, and betaine in raw beets improves liver activity (we talked about the healing properties of beets here, and from this article you will find out the chemical composition of the red root and how it is useful and what is harmful to human health).
Does the blood thin or thicken?
Beet refers to salicylates, i.e. contains salicin - a substance that thins the blood, thereby normalizing high blood pressure.
Does beet boost hemoglobin or not?
Does hemoglobin raise or not? This vegetable helps a lot in increasing hemoglobin.
100 g contains 1.7 mg of iron (7.8% of the daily norm), which contributes to the production of iron-containing protein, as well as beets contain other substances involved in the production of hemoglobin, such as copper and vitamin B1.
Thus, the root is an excellent tool in the fight against anemia.
Raises sugar
Beetroot increases blood sugar, especially if it is eaten raw, so a raw vegetable cannot be a diabetic in raw form.
The best solution for diabetics is to boil, bake or simmer in small quantities, because during heat treatment, the root crop does not lose its properties and minerals, if boiled whole and with the peel.
Details about whether or not to include beets in the diet for diabetes, we told in a separate article.
Cleans
One of the strong advantages of not boiled beets is that only in its raw form it can be removed from our body:

- metals;
- radionuclides.
Fiber, prepared in any form of beets, contains a complex polysaccharide - pectinwhich, thanks to its absorbing effect, cleanses the body of toxins, toxins and prevents the “bad” cholesterol from being sucked into the blood.
The juice of beets is considered the most valuable for the formation of blood, thanks to him, the formation of red blood cells and red bodies is stimulated and improves blood in general. This juice simply has no equal in case of anemia.
