Beet head carrot salad

Beet root, also known as sweet root vegetable, seaweed head, red cabbage head, etc., originated from the Mediterranean coast of Europe. Among traditional medical methods in ancient Britain, beetroot was an important drug for treating blood diseases and was known as the "root of life".

Beet root also contains iodine, which has certain effects on preventing goiter and preventing atherosclerosis. The roots and leaves of beetroot contain a kind of betaine (with biochemical and pharmacological functions of choline and lecithin), which is an effective regulator of metabolism and can accelerate the body's absorption of protein and improve liver function. Beet root also contains a saponin substance, which combines cholesterol in the intestine into an uneasily absorbed mixture and is excreted. Beet root also regulates the hardening strength of softened blood vessels and prevents the formation of thrombus in predicted blood vessels, which plays an important role in the treatment of hypertension. Beet root also contains a large amount of cellulose and pectin, which has been found to have an anti-gastric ulcer factor function. In medical practice, there is also a purgative function to eliminate excessive water in the abdomen and relieve abdominal distension. Because it contains iron, copper, manganese and other elements, it can also treat anemia, style and other diseases.
