6. A Natural Detox Support
While the body already has its own detox system, beets can support it. They contain nutrients that assist the liver, an organ responsible for filtering toxins from the blood.
This doesn’t mean beets are a “magic cleanse,” but they can be a helpful addition to a healthy diet.
How to Add Beets to Your Diet
Doctors recommend enjoying beets in simple, whole-food forms, such as:
Roasted beets as a side dish
Fresh beet slices in salads
Blended into smoothies
Lightly steamed or pickled (with minimal added sugar)
