Benefits Of Beets
If you're looking for a strong detoxifier, beets may be the answer. Betaine, a compound found in beets, is well known for its detoxification properties.
Interestingly enough, betaine has also been linked to improved athletic performance, even though the mechanisms behind this effect are not fully understood.
Betaine plays a crucial role in the methylation process, which is a major detoxification pathway in the body. Furthermore, betaine has been shown to increase the phase 2 glutathione process in the liver.
It's no wonder that beets have become a go-to for detox enthusiasts, and it's amazing to see how our bodies can adapt to even the strongest detoxifiers over time.
Bile Flow
Bile flow is a crucial factor in maintaining overall health and the detox process. It serves as a means of escorting toxins out of the liver and triggering peristalsis to move toxins through the bowels. One common issue with bile flow is gallbladder problems, which can cause a range of issues.
Fortunately, one of the best things for bile flow is beets, whether in the form of juice or cooked. Consuming beets can increase the ratio of primary to secondary bile acids in the body.
Primary bile acids help to increase bile production while reducing the reabsorption of toxic bile in the liver, resulting in more effective detoxification. In contrast, secondary bile acids are reabsorbed from the intestines into the liver, a process that can be problematic when the bile contains toxins.
Although some researchers argue that reducing secondary bile flow absorption excretes more cholesterol, it makes more sense to recycle bile when it doesn't contain toxins, as it has the key role of emulsifying fats for digestion.
However, it's important to note that heating beets can cause a loss of nutrients, specifically sensitive antioxidants like betalains, which are crucial for detoxification.
Despite this, beets are still incredibly beneficial for your overall health. Their rich nitrates can produce nitric oxide, which improves circulation and delivers more nutrients throughout the body.
Beets also contain a wide range of nutrients that support cell reproduction and detoxification, as well as strengthen the liver to purify blood and remove toxins from cells. Next time you're searching for a nutrient-packed food, don't overlook the humble beet!
