Beetroot Salad

Beetroot, one of Nature's superfoods. 

Beetroot is heart-healthy as it contains soluble fibre, which can help to reduce high levels of cholesterol in the blood.  It also helps to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.  Beetroot also increases the uptake of oxygen in the body by up to 400 percent.
