Swati Dwivedi, 35, a resident of Bangalore, has been fond of gardening since childhood. Despite working, he did not let his hobby die. Swati has planted more than 200 saplings in the backyard of the house. She takes care of all the plants herself and is pursuing her hobby by posting videos of gardening on YouTube. Recently Swati has also made a video about growing beetroot at home. In which it has been explained in detail about making seeds from beet bought from the market, growing it in pots in an organic way.
Beetroot increases hemoglobin
Swati says, “However, it takes a little longer to grow beetroot this way. But you can grow them organically in pots at home without using chemicals. When they are ready, you get to eat fresh and healthy home grown beetroot.” They say that it is a low-calorie food, which is considered very good for health.
A recent study also proves that eating beetroot as a vegetable or drinking its juice increases blood circulation and hemoglobin. It also lowers blood pressure, but these benefits will be available only if beetroot has been grown organically without chemicals.
