High levels Of Nitrite

Beets contain high levels of nitrite, a compound that is converted to nitric oxide in your body that may help lower your blood pressure levels. Nitric oxide has been shown to relax constricted arteries, allowing them to expand and improve blood flow.

High in Manganese

Manganese is found in small amounts in bones, the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It also plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Studies have shown that people with arthritis and diabetes have lower levels of manganese in their blood. Research has even shown that those with higher blood levels of manganese are more protected from bad cholesterol than those with lower levels of manganese.

Cultured Dairy: The Nutrition Benefits You Need to Know

With increasing research linking the correlation between probiotics, gut health, and immunity, it’s no secret that the integrity of our gut is vital to our health. Although additional factors such as stress, antibiotic usage, and individual health conditions can contribute to the condition of our gut, a focus on healthy food choices is one of the easiest ways to support the microbiome.

Several studies have shown a strong association between the gut-brain-microbiota. Probiotics introduced to the gut have been found to support immunity, improve allergies, and improve digestion.

Studies have shown that reduced diversity of healthy gut bacteria during early years is associated with an increase in food allergies during school-age years. In addition, kefir made from whole milk helps absorb key nutrients such as Vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamin K is important because it helps your bones absorb calcium. It’s important to know that kefir contains a special trio: vitamin D, K, and calcium – all three crucial elements to support bone health.

Good Source of Potassium and Fiber

Potassium plays a vital role in fluid balance and controlling electrical activity in the heart and muscles. Higher potassium intake has also been associated with lower rates of stroke and may reduce the risk of congenital heart disease.

A large-scale study conducted by Harvard has also shown that young adults who eat high fiber foods may have lower risks of breast cancer compared to those with less dietary fiber.

Support Natural Detoxification

Beets contain the unique concentrations of the phytonutrients betanin and vulgaxanthin, which support your body’s natural detoxification processes. Beets have also been shown to stimulate your liver, which helps remove toxins from your blood.
