Anemia and low energy are very common conditions, and we’ve all probably experienced them at least once in our lives. Negative habits, stress, work, or certain health problems can all lead us to experience these conditions.
However, nature offers us products that, in addition to saving us a lot of money, prevent and treat this type of pathology.
The smoothie we are going to describe in this article is made with only two ingredients: beetroot and maca.
Beetroot is very energetic, thanks to its high content of natural sugars, iron, potassium, and B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, and B6) . It is very useful for treating anemia. In addition, it stimulates liver and intestinal functions, improving bowel function and helping the lymphatic system eliminate toxins from our body. The folate in beets helps us in the production of white and red blood cells and the formation of antibodies.
Maca is a plant that has been used since the time of the Incas and boasts numerous properties: it is rich in calcium, potassium, zinc, sodium, phosphorus, and B vitamins. It is an excellent energy tonic and also stimulates sexual desire thanks to its rich alkaloid components.
It has revitalizing and mineralizing effects and relieves menstrual symptoms. It is available in herbal medicine in capsule or powder form.
To make this smoothie, simply peel and chop a beetroot, place it in a blender, and add half a glass of water and a teaspoon of maca powder. Blend until smooth.
It is recommended to consume this smoothie on an empty stomach, in the morning or even before doing physical activity.
