Why Eat Beets – Anti-Inflammatory

​When your body has inflammation, it is typically your body responding (via the immune system) to help protect against infection. But we know that chronic inflammation is deleterious to our health, and can lead to cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, or even cancerogenic diseases. Studies have shown that beets have been able to lower levels of inflammation and blood pressure for individuals. And that is correlative to the reduction in oxidation (oxidative) stress – it being high in antioxidants essentially.
