Beetroots and turnips, as well as all root vegetables are often encountered but also often neglected as autumn-winter products. Having been well known since ancient times, they are an excellent source of many vitamins and minerals. And especially during the cold and flu season, they can replace an entire row of drugs in the medicine cabinet.
Beetroots can charge the body with energy and decrease blood pressure. They help protect against cancer, curb arthritis pain and aid in weight loss. Kohlrabi, on its part, strengthens the immune system, fills in the gaps of many microelement deficiencies, especially potassium and vitamin C, which protects us from viruses.
The Jerusalem artichoke (earth apple) contains a substance that protects against colon cancer. Besides all this, these vegetables have a cleansing effect on the stomach, as well as on the blood vessels.
