6) BEETS
Beets are abundant in many essential nutrients and add a pop of color to main dishes and desserts.
They’re high in vitamin C, manganese, and potassium, which you’ll need all day. They’re also rich in Folate, with a serving size (136 grams) of raw beets containing 148 mcg, or almost 37% of the recommended daily intake.
In addition to their vitamin content, beets are high in nitrates, a kind of plant chemical that has several health benefits.
In healthy people, consuming beet juice decreases systolic blood pressure by 4–5 millimeters of mercury, according to a preliminary study.
