What's
the perfect activity to participate in on this Valentine's Day?
Exploring the
relationship between beets and human blood, of course! A PhD student in Sweden, Nélida Leiva-Erikkson, and her team discovered that the roots, leaves, and flowers of sugar beets (20% of the world's sugar comes from this type of beet) are composed of hemoglobin almost identical to human blood, and they have hopes that in the future, it can be used as a blood substitute.

Beets not only help anemia, blood disorders, and cardiovascular health, but they are also high in nitrites, which, when converted to nitric acid by our saliva, boosts exercise performance and how fitting for the day of love, sexual performance as well!
