Beetroot is something you should eat more of whether you like it or not. This reddish vegetable is generally consumed raw or added to salads and has tons of health benefits. Beets are able to do things like prevent colon obstructions, clean fat from your liver, improve your blood circulation, and provide your body with energy for the day all at the same time.
