7. Beets
The velvety, vibrant beet has gained a reputation most recently for its ability to help lower high blood pressure, but did you know it is also a solid source for dietary fiber? 1 cup of beets offers close to 4% of your daily value of fiber, a large portion of which is an insoluble fiber that promotes healthy stool formation to pass through your bowels (a.k.a. prevents constipation).
Interestingly, the greens and stalks which grow out of the beetroot are also edible and offer nutritional benefits as well as supporting eye health with their high lutein concentration.
The phytonutrients which give beets their purple and golden colors have also been shown to help eliminate toxins and free radicals from the body.
