Benefits of the Roots Vegetables

Root vegetables have a high amount of fiber. Additionally, the benefits of root vegetables include the ability to fight inflammation. This is due to the carotenoid antioxidants these veggies contain, such as vitamins A and C. Beta-carotene, which is a precursor to active vitamin A, can be found in large amounts in sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, and other root veggies. For example, the carrots they have antioxidants called carotenoids are what give carrot juice and carrots their trademark orange color, and is what can help protect your eyes and skin. For the beets, they contain nitrates, which your body can use for muscle recovery, improved circulation, and lowering inflammation. So don’t forget your roots vegetables, they are good for you!
