News India Live, Digital Desk: Today is January 1, 2026, the first morning of the new year! Today we all must have taken a resolution to keep ourselves healthy. Whenever we go to the vegetable market, we definitely buy beetroot. We enjoy red beetroot salad or juice, but we often consider the long green leaves on it as garbage and leave them with the shopkeeper or bring them home and throw them away.
But believe me, the power hidden in those thrown leaves is probably not even in that red root. Let us know why what we consider useless is actually no less than a herb for our health.
sure cure for anemia
If anyone in your house feels weak or lacks hemoglobin in the body, then these leaves are a boon. More iron is found in these than beetroot. Often people take medicines to avoid anemia, but if you make saag or parantha from these leaves and eat them, the amount of blood in your body starts increasing naturally.
eyesight and shine
Nowadays, we all spend more time on mobile or laptop screen, which causes irritation or weakness in the eyes. Beetroot leaves are rich in Vitamin A. This vitamin helps in maintaining good eyesight. Children should develop the habit of feeding this since childhood.
digestion and relief from constipation
Not having a clean stomach has become a common problem these days. These leaves contain a lot of ‘fibre’. When you include these in your diet, it cleans your intestines and also helps in eliminating chronic problems like constipation.
gives strength to bones
We all depend on milk or pills for calcium, but do you know that along with calcium, these leaves also contain good amount of ‘Vitamin K’? This combination prevents the bones from becoming hollow. Especially women must consume it.
Easiest way to use
It is very simple to use these leaves. You can make a vegetable by chopping them finely like fenugreek or spinach. If you don’t like greens, then add them while kneading the dough – delicious ‘healthy parathas’ will be ready. Some people also cook it by adding it to pulses, which enhances both the taste and health of the pulses.
So this time when you bring beetroot from the market, place its leaves in your kitchen and not in the dustbin. Understanding and embracing the precious gifts that nature has given us is the first step towards a better tomorrow.
