Beet is loaded with starch.It is used in some countries to make sugar.Better be very moderate in it's consumption or avoid totally.

[rankx001]

Thanks for your reply sir. Actually I came to know that there are lots of important minerals in good quantity. But from opinions, the result is that it is not beneficial for diabetics.

[rankx001]

So peanuts can be used on daily basis. Currently I am using use 50 gram flax seed powder and about 20 gram of sesame seeds.

[narayanaol in reply to rankx001]

Raw peanuts soaked in water for 4 hrs is more beneficial.

[rankx001]

I got very important point from you sir. I will have to make balance.

[ranga]

I was advised by my Doc. that those who are confirmed having stone in the belly,small or big ,such persons should not take beetroot at all.This was advised for my wife a day before.

Beetroot Juice For Diabetic Patients

Vegetable and fruit juices, packed with nutrients, are often considered an ideal item on any diet menu. Beetroot juice is also similarly replete with health boosting compounds and is ideal for diabetes. Beet root juice has a detoxifying effect on the body. This explains why a feeling of nausea is experienced when you start drinking beetroot juice on a daily basis. It is helpful to combine the juice of red beet with other vegetables like carrot, so that the body can get accustomed to it. A glass of beetroot juice can also ward off any signs of fatigue in the body. Its chlorine content proves good for the digestive system. At the same time, the nitrates in red beet help in lowering the blood pressure of your body, thus keeping hypertension off the limits. Read more on health benefits of beetroot juice

Compared to consuming this vegetable, drinking the juice of red beets provides a sudden boost of ascorbic acid, vitamin E, carotenes, phenolic acids, and phytoestrogens to the body. This acts positively on the overall cardiac function. Drinking beetroot juice also introduces a greater concentration of potassium than when eating the vegetable. Hence, beetroot juice is often given for diabetes as this allays the formation of any stones in the kidneys or gallbladder. Devoid of any fat and rich in vitamins and natural sugars, beetroot juice is a good choice for excess weight management, which is essential in keeping diabetes in check. The benefits of beetroot juice are enhanced if the layer just below the skin is included in the juice as well. The juice provides a glass of nutrients sans fiber and hence, should be consumed in moderation.

Diabetic persons should have a glass of beet root juice combined with other vegetable juice. This can be had on alternate days or twice a week. The presence of fiber in the diet menu is an essential item for diabetes. Hence, try to consume the juicy red beet vegetable as a salad more than a juice. Yet, beetroot juice helps a diabetic person when he is feeling quite tired. Then, the juice strengthens the body and improves the constitution of blood.

While consuming beet root for diabetes, it should be noted that persons with a history of gall bladder stones or who are prone to kidney stones owing to oxalates should refrain from eating red beet. This is because the vegetable has a high concentration of oxalates that can result in the formation of stones.

Vitamic c would neutralize the oxalates and any present stones in high enough dose

[Jasmin434]

Beet root and peanuts do not harm diabetics.

[DrDevendra]

Its like inviting death. It contains starch - a more condensed form of carbohydrate !

[rankx001 in reply to DrDevendra]

Thanks for your feedback sir.

[MikeEby in reply to DrDevendra]

Do more research. It has nutritional components to help unlock the pancreas. It is not the cause of diabetes. Thus is why some with a healthy pancreas can eat outrageous amounts of fruit.

Plz help whether beetroot is helpfully for type 1 diabetes

[MikeEby]

We cannot avoid things that are good for us. You believe that the beetroot is good for diabetes yes? This is the reason you asked this question. Beetroot contains metabolites that improve insulin resistance so yes you should consume them. The diabetic diet is so screwed up!!! It hurts me to no end that people try to limit their diet to that which caused them the diabetes in the first place. The cholesterol in most meat has no sugar agreed, but most these days are feed and unnatural diet which then produce a deformed cholesterol. This blocks the insulin receptor sites. Consuming more only makes it worse. Im not promoting being a vegetarian, but eating naturally raised fish and meat. Beetroot helps reverse diabetes. By helping unclog these receptors.

A person cannot sleep at night Doctor prescribes sleep meds man sleeps. Without meds no sleep. Yes? No. Man cannot sleep at night, HAS undiagnosed allergy which causes an adrenal push which keeps him awake. No need for sleep meds

Same thing

[ASHOKSHRIVASTAVA in reply to MikeEby]

Please note that most of the doctors particularly in India are LAKEER KE FAKEER. What they study 20 years back becomes Ten Commandments for them. They do not study the latest research going on in the whole world.

Please go through this latest research paper on BEET ROOT:

Beetroot is a plant which comes from the same family as sugar beets which are the raw material for producing sugar. However, when compared to their cousin, the beet root is completely different in its nutritional composition as well as taste and colour.

As most people know, beetroot is a vegetable that has a very dark red colour. More often than not, it is used in salads to add a bit of exotic colour to the plate. Beetroot juice has also become quite popular, mostly because of the many health benefits of this vegetable which is also described as a power food.

How Does Beetroot Benefit Your Body?

Beetroot has gained popularity off late as a power vegetable mainly because it is said to be natural stamina booster while also helping the body fight against rising sugar levels and obesity. The following are some health benefits of making beetroot a part of your diet.

Beetroot Maintains Blood Pressure and Improves the Heart’s Health

Studies have shown that those who drink beetroot juice on a regular basis are less susceptible to cardiovascular problems. Beetroot also helps in maintaining the blood pressure and does not let it rise up above average.

Beetroot Controls Blood Sugar Levels

Beetroot can also regulate the sugar level in the blood with the help of the alpha-lipoic acid present in its composition. This acid can decrease the glucose level in the blood and also increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

Beetroot Promotes Healthy Digestion

Beetroot may not be overburdened with nutrients and minerals but one thing that it is certainly rich in is dietary fibre. Due to this, eating beetroot is sure to promote healthy digestion while eliminating problems like constipation or difficulty in bowel movement.

Beetroot Boosts Up the Energy

Beetroot juice is the drink of choice for professional athletes as it leads to faster oxidation of muscles ultimately meaning that they can work out longer in the field without getting tired.

Beetroot Reduces the Level of LDL or ‘Bad Cholesterol’

The dietary fibre in beetroot is pretty effective for burning down the cholesterol which ultimately results in weight loss and a healthier life.

Beetroot Detoxifies the Body

Like most vegetables, beetroot acts as a great anti-oxidant for the body. The red colour of the beetroot is because of the presence of beta cyanine which is known to be one of the best anti oxidants. Moreover, anti oxidation does not only cleanse the blood, it also gives you a cleaner and glowing complexion.

Beetroot Reduces Chances of Dementia

Beetroot is said to be extremely healthy for the brain as it promotes blood flow to the upper most organ of our body. Dementia is a neurological disease which can occur as the person’s age increases. However, eating beetroot can reduce the chances of memory loss as it keeps the brain healthy.

Beetroot Fights Inflammation

Beetroot is a really unique vegetable which also has properties to fight against inflammation. It protects the skin cells as well as internal organs against environmental risk factors.

Health benefits of the Beetroot Greens

As the name suggests, the beetroot is actually a root, much the same way as an onion or radish. However, the beetroot greens or the leaves are also as nutritious as the main vegetable. These green leaves are also a great source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and minerals like zinc, manganese, potassium, calcium, etc. Most importantly, beet greens are extremely rich in iron, even more so than other green leafy vegetables like spinach or broccoli.

These leafy veggies can easily be cooked much the same way as spinach or even be mixed with some other vegetables in a sort of broth.

Some health benefits of beet green are as follows:

1. The iron and calcium present in the beet greens can help fight against diseases related to the bone structure like osteoporosis. In fact, eating beet greens is extremely healthy for the bones and will also ensure that you do not suffer from joint pains at an early age.

2. The greens also act as a booster to the body’s immune system through production of white blood cells. They strengthen the body from within so as to be able to ward off infections.

3. Beet greens have even been known to be an effective remedy against Alzheimer’s disease.

How to Incorporate Beetroot in Your Diet

Beetroot makes a really popular salad ingredient because of its crunchy texture. It can be cut into slices along with other salad ingredients or it can even be grated and added over the salad to give it an even more colourful look. Grated beetroot can even be added along with coleslaw and used as a filling for your sandwich.

Another popular way of consuming beetroot is in the form of juice. The beets can easily be juiced in your own kitchen and can even be mixed with other fruits like apple or pomegranate.

Beetroot has been a favourite among the Russians for a long time. The famous Russian soup called Borscht is a classic beetroot recipe which you can try at home. If that proves to be too difficult, you can also simply boil the beets and marinate them with other herbs, oils, salad dressings or lemon juice.

Nutritional Benefits of Beetroot

Beetroot is a pretty versatile vegetable which contains a little bit of a lot of vitamins and minerals but does not specifically contain any one particular compound in a large quantity.

Some of the vitamins which beetroot gives to the body are Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-6, thiamine and riboflavin. Apart from this, beet root also contains trace amounts of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and manganese. Beetroot also provides trace amounts of carbohydrates, proteins as well as dietary fibre.
