In addition, there are some seasonal illnesses such as colds, fever, and the flu. Therefore, experts recommend paying special attention to our health at this time of the year in order to strengthen immunity and reduce the possibility of severity. According to consultant nutritionist Lupari Datta, “maintaining a healthy diet is one of the first steps to naturally strengthen your immunity.” And to speed up the process, she suggests consuming foods that contain essential nutrients and immune-boosting properties.

Seasonal changes: Health benefits of Amla beet root juice:
1. Help you detoxify:
Beetroot contains betalain (a type of phytonnutrient) that is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Amla, on the other hand, contains vitamin C and antioxidants. These factors make Beetroot Amla Juice a great detox drink for everyone.
2. Boost immunity:
Beetroot is rich in iron and vitamin C and is known to produce healthy red blood cells (RBCs) in the body to combat infections. Similarly, Amla is considered one of the best foods to boost immunity because it is rich in vitamin C and polyphenol antioxidants.
3. Maintain energy and stamina:
Beetroot is thought to open blood vessels, which increases the flow of oxygen throughout the body. These elements will help you feel more energetic and active throughout the day. In Amla, phytochemicals such as quercetin, gallic acid, corilagin and ellagic acid help provide energy.
4. Help fight colds and flu:
Since ancient times, Amla has been a popular home remedy for the treatment of colds and flu. Rich in Vitamin C, it stimulates the production of white blood cells (WBCs) in the body and helps fight some seasonal infections and illnesses. Moreover, some studies have also linked beetroot to the relief of cold symptoms.
5. Promote intestinal health:
Amla is alkaline in nature, making it ideal for enhancing gut health and increasing metabolism. Beetroot, on the other hand, is rich in fiber that helps to soften the movement of the intestines, further promoting a healthy intestine. It is also known that a healthy intestine helps immune health for the inexperienced.
