"Beet for the woman: how many calories, what vitamins what it is useful to who cannot eat

Wishing to fill the shortage of vitamins and useful minerals in an organism, we often give preference to the exotic fruit and vegetables flaunting on shelves of supermarkets. Especially it is relevant in the winter when the lack of fresh fruits is felt most sharply. However nutritionists emphasize — the most useful is what is habitual and familiar for our organism, and there are products, magnificent on the contents, which can be bought all the year round, besides is inexpensive. Among them there is a simple beet from which the woman can receive a set of valuable elements for the health and appearance — will consider structure, advantage and features of application of this vegetable.

What contains in structure

Beet is a unique product: unlike the vast majority of vegetable food, this root crop is almost equally interesting as in the raw, and after heat treatment (boiled or baked).

Caloric content

It is low-calorie vegetable. So, in the raw 100 g of beet contain only 43 kcal, in boiled it is slightly more — about 49 kcal.

Whether you know? All territory of the Mediterranean Basin is considered the homeland of beet, at the same time it is precisely known that to Kievan Rus' this root crop was delivered in the X century by the Byzantine merchants. Since then this product took the full place in national cuisine, having a little given in only after emergence on our tables of potatoes.

If to take into account that the person leading a sedentary life in day should receive no more than two thousand kilocalories (before achievement of 19 years norm a little higher, and here after 50 years, on the contrary, is 10% lower), it is simple to consider that, having eaten salad from 200 g of a boiled root crop, it is possible to receive no more than 5% of day norm of calories and, thus, not to worry for a condition of the waist.

Of course, if to fill such salad with sour cream, vegetable oil or mayonnaise, the number of calories in it considerably will increase (respectively, in 2, 2.5 and by 3 times), but even in this case the product will turn out rather easy.

I WATCH

• pantothenic acid (B5 vitamin);
• pyridoxine (B6 vitamin);

• ascorbic acid (vitamin C);
• tocopherol (vitamin E)
• biotin (vitamin H).

Important! Methylmethionine which called "vitamin U" earlier, from "ulcus" — an ulcer also is a part of beet. Earlier was considered that this substance has property to heal ulcers. However today the given information is called by many scientists into question, and substance ceased to be carried to vitamins.

In beet there are also a lot of pectins, amino acids (lysine, betaine, arginine, valine, histidine), organic acids (apple, dairy, wine, lemon, oxalic, oleanolovy), bioflavonoids (them still call "vitamin P") and other biologically active agents doing this root crop irreplaceable on our table.

From the minerals necessary for our organism which are present at beet it is necessary to call first of all potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, iodine, iron, sodium, fluorine, manganese, sulfur. Besides, vegetable contains chlorine, a pine forest, copper, vanadium.

Than beet is useful to women

Red root crops are useful to all — both to men, and women, however it is necessary to pay special attention to this product to women.

It is known that one of the most important hormones emitted by a pancreas is insulin. Not without reason it is called "hormone of life and energy" (a problem of insulin — to split sugar and to support the normal level of glucose in blood and consequently, to supply us with the main source of energy). The zinc which is a part of beet provides higher duration of effect of insulin.

Representatives of a fine half of mankind it is worth including in a diet a traditional root crop not only during the premenstrual period of a cycle, but also directly in critical days: thanks to the high content of iron, beet perfectly promotes process of blood formation and helps to avoid anemia.

For the immune system

Maintenance of immunity provides all complex of vitamins and mineral substances which is contained in root crops, however a special role is played here by arginine. This amino acid is so important for strengthening of own protective functions of an organism that it (in dosage forms) is actively used at complex therapy of AIDS — the fatal disease caused by an immunodeficiency virus.

Besides, arginine has the expressed anticarcinogenic activity.

Also antioxidant properties of beet are known. The ability of biologically active agents which are its part to connect free radicals and also to bring out of an organism of salt of heavy metals and other toxins play an important role in strengthening of immunity and the general condition of our health.

Whether you know? It is known that during an era of the Middle Ages of one of the most dreadful diseases which are mowing clean the whole cities the plague was. It is difficult to believe in it, but long before opening of antibiotics and vaccination the people found out that in places where at tables daily there was a beet, the level of death from plague was much lower.

For a cardiovascular system

For a cardiovascular system the exclusive advantage is represented by flavonoids. They promote a lowering of arterial pressure, strengthen walls of vessels, improve composition of blood, remove spasms. Prevention of atherosclerosis is provided by the iodine which is a part of beet and also oleanolovy acid (the last has the stimulating effect on a cardiac muscle and improves lipidic exchange, and, therefore, prevents defeat of coronary vessels). Exclusively useful to heart is also niatsin of which in beet it is more, than in many other vegetables.

Speaking about beet, it is necessary also to mention the specific substance which is its part and providing bright red color of a root crop.

Buying vegetables and fruit, we sometimes worry about the possible content in them of nitrates, including these substances harmful and dangerous. Actually all not absolutely so: nitrogenous connections (more precisely, salts of nitric acid which nitrates are) have huge amount of useful properties, including allow to keep visual acuity.

Exactly thanks to nitrates the blood-groove improves, and, therefore, the best intake of oxygen to various bodies and fabrics, including to eyes is provided. Besides, the positive role of these substances in strengthening of cages of a cornea is proved. In 100 g of beet about 250 mg of nitrates, necessary for stable sight, and this not less than a half of standard daily rate contain.

Not less the zinc which is also a part of beet is important for sight. It is proved that this element allows to prevent an otsloyka of cellulose.
