- Dr. Truong Tran Bich Ngan, Department of Clinical Practice 3, Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital replied: Beetroot juice is not only a delicious drink but also has positive effects on health.
Specifically, beetroot juice can improve skin health. Because they are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, they can help reduce the damage caused by free radicals on the skin. This can help improve skin health, delay the progression of skin aging, specifically reducing the formation of wrinkles, brown spots and other signs of aging.
Helps hair healthy and beautiful because beetroot juice is rich in nutrients such as iron, potassium, folate, vitamin C. These are vitamins and minerals important for hair growth, if lacking these factors can cause more hair breakage.
Brightens skin and lightens dark spots because the betalains in beetroot juice can help increase blood flow to the skin, resulting in brighter and more even-toned skin.
Reduces inflammation because beetroot juice has anti-inflammatory properties due to its high nitrate content. Skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and atopic dermatitis originate from subclinical inflammatory reactions. Therefore, consuming beetroot juice helps prevent these inflammatory reactions that lead to disease.
Beetroot juice is a natural detoxifier due to its high nitrate content which can help remove harmful compounds from the bloodstream from the body, helping to brighten the skin and improve health.
In addition to helping beautify the skin and hair, beetroot juice also helps maintain body shape and support weight loss. The high content of inorganic nitrate contained in beetroot can improve exercise performance, increase endurance in athletes and thereby help you burn more calories during exercise.
