All about beet > Health and nutrition
Beets have the most healthful benefits when eaten raw. They stimulate the appetite and are good sources of energy, are beneficial to the kidneys, and fight flu, constipation and anemia. Anti-carcinogenic properties are even attributed to them. Though low in fat, beets are very high in sugar and are therefore not recommended for diabetics.
Beets are high in beta carotene and have a laxative effect, making them an ideal vegetable for intestinal cleansing.
