4. Prevent Hair Loss
Beetroot juice is an excellent source of potassium. A cup of beets contains 442-milligrams of potassium, which assists in hair growth. Many individuals with potassium deficiency experience rapid onset hair loss. If you’ve noticed you’re shedding more hair than usual, and it’s beginning to stop up your shower drain, then consider juicing a few beets every morning.
The potassium found in beets restores the health of your skin and hair follicles, strengthening your hair while giving it a lustrous shine. Drink a cup of beet juice in the morning, and you should start to notice less shedding a few weeks after starting.
Potassium also assists the body in maintaining a healthy growth rate, while helping the digestive system in the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose for energy. Juice a few beets with blueberries and strawberries. The phytonutrients in the berries also assist with the uptake of potassium in the body and cleanse the blood of free-radicals while improving the taste of the beet juice.
