how many beetroot per day - #24089

Tara

I am really confused about how many beetroot per day is considered safe or beneficial! Lately, I've been trying to eat healthier, and I heard beetroot is really good for your health, like for lowering blood pressure and improving stamina. I’ve been trying to add it to my salads and juices, but I’m not sure if eating too much is a bad idea. I had a friend who told me that eating a ton can actually mess with your kidneys or something because of oxalates? Last week, I made this smoothie with, I don’t know, maybe four medium-sized beetroots—thought it would be great for energy. But then I read some articles saying, like, a small amount is best. Now I'm worried I've overdone it! I even felt a bit funny after that, like my stomach was weird, and I’m just wondering if it could be related to that?? Like, how many beetroot per day should I actually aim for? Is it different for everyone? I’m trying to balance getting enough nutrients without going overboard—total guessing game here! If anyone has some insights or personal experience on how many beetroot per day keeps things healthy without any side effects, that would be super helpful!

Doctors' responses

Your question about how much beetroot is safe to consume daily is definitely important, given the potential for both health benefits and risks. Generally speaking, eating one to two medium-sized beetroots a day is considered safe for most people—this amount usually provides the health benefits without pushing any potential risks. Beetroots are very nutritious, offering a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins like Folate, and minerals such as potassium. They are particularly noted for nitrates, which can help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow, which in turn might aid athletic performance and stamina as you’ve heard. However, consuming too many beetroot in a single sitting or over a short period may lead to some adverse effects. Since beetroots are high in oxalates, and in rare cases, this can increase the risk of kidney stones for those predisposed to them. People sensitive to oxalates should be cautious. Also, remember that a significant intake of beetroot might temporarily discolor urine (beeturia) or stools, which is harmless. If you’ve noticed any GI discomfort, it may be wise to reduce your intake, spread it throughout the day, and monitor how you react. Balancing out your nutrient intake by diversifying the vegetables and fruits in your diet can also prevent any potential issues from overconsumption. Keep in mind, very individual reactions and condition varies, so it’s always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns or a pre-existing condition.
