Beets are one of staple health foods in Europe and the healing properties of beets are well known in many traditional diets. Beets are rich in chromium for fat reduction, muscle strengthening, blood sugar moderation, even temperament, youthfulness and longevity. They are also an excellent energy boost and good support for your immune system.
