Beet, Soya, Spinach and lentil soup
About:
This is a hearty, flavourful soup of root vegetable, spinach and lentils, which is perfect for chilly fall nights.
Health benefits:
Beetroot and spinach are a healthy addition to any eating plan. The study results do show that increased dietary nitrite, from beetroot or spinach consumption, can have quite an immediate effect. Beetroot lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. It contains phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium, as well as fiber, vitamins A and C, niacin and biotin. Beets contain folic acid, which is recommended for pregnant women.
Eating a cup of raw beetroot can work as magic for people with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
