Beetroot juice: benefits and harms in oncology
According to one version of the origin of cancer, tumors appear in the body if respiration in cells is impaired. The same theory states that if it is restored, the growth of the tumor will stop, and it may even disappear. In the case of red beets, this effect is achieved thanks to the substance betaine found in it, a pigment that colors the root vegetable in a dark red color. In large doses, it activates cellular respiration and with systematic consumption of the juice, the effect becomes noticeable quite quickly - already a month after the start of use. Other beet coloring substances, anthocyanins, also have an antitumor effect.
Regarding oncology, one can also note the benefits of organic acids of red beets - they shift the acid-base balance in the required direction, thereby preventing the growth of tumors. Vitamins and mineral elements contribute to the normal course of metabolic processes, restoration of cells and tissues, and accumulation of vital energy.
