Our ancestors drank it often: The forgotten juice that protects the heart and lowers blood pressure

Beetroot juice is a natural way to boost your immunity, cleanse your body, and increase your energy levels. This simple drink is a real vitamin bomb.

Beetroot is known as a vegetable rich in iron, potassium, vitamin C, and powerful antioxidants. When consumed in the form of juice, it helps improve circulation, contributes to blood pressure regulation, and promotes natural body detoxification, according to Nova.rs.

Due to its specific, earthy taste, beetroot is often combined with other ingredients in beverages – most commonly lemon, which refreshes and slightly neutralizes its intense tone, and optionally fruits such as apple or carrot.

Homemade Beetroot Juice Recipe

Ingredients:

2 to 3 medium beetroots
1 to 2 apples (for natural sweetness, optional)
Juice of one lemon
Water as needed

Preparation:

Wash the beets thoroughly, remove the skin, and if the beets are large, cut them into smaller pieces for faster cooking.
Boil in water for about half an hour, until soft. Then let them cool and peel.

Place the cooked beetroot, chopped apples (if using), and freshly squeezed lemon juice into a blender. Add a bit of water to make blending easier.
Once you get a smooth texture, strain the juice through cheesecloth or a sieve if you prefer a clearer drink.

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator. You can add a bit of honey or ice cubes for extra freshness.
You can drink this natural beverage daily – on its own, as part of your breakfast, or as an addition to your favorite smoothie. Your body will thank you!
