10. Aids in Detoxification
Betalains are strong supporters of the kidneys and liver, two main organs responsible for body cleansing and detoxification. Pectin, found in beet pulp, and betaine promote liver cell regeneration, detoxification and help improve cholesterol levels.
Betanins activate the enzymes involved in the liver's detoxification and support a healthy balance of energy, hormones and cholesterol levels. These detoxifying compounds are not damaged by juicing, so adding beet juice to one's diet is an easy way to cleanse the system.
