Ways to prepare beet water:
Boiled: Simmer a whole beet in a liter of water for around 20 minutes
Blended: Mix half a beet with a glass of water, optionally adding lemon or ginger
Fermented: Supports gut health
Recommended frequency:
3–5 times weekly, no more than 250 ml per day, unless a healthcare provider suggests otherwise.
When to Use Caution
Although natural, beet water may not be appropriate for everyone. Take these precautions:
Avoid if you have low blood pressure
It could interact with blood-thinning medications
Those prone to kidney stones should be careful due to its oxalate content
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical guidance first
It may cause harmless beeturia (red-colored urine), which can be surprising
Even natural remedies can have side effects, so consult a healthcare professional before making beet water a regular part of your routine, especially if you have existing health conditions.
