This juice contains betaine, which stimulates the function of the liver cells and protects the liver and bile ducts in cases of disturb-

ance. Every 100 g of beetroot juice contains 5 mg of iron, in addition to a number of trace elements, which, it is believed, encourage the absorption of the iron in the blood. A healthy body needs plenty of iron, especially in the first two years of life, during puberty, in pregnancy, when breast-feeding and during the menopause. Beetroot juice is highly recommended for these crucial periods of life. If your child is pale, do not forget to give him or her a small glass of beetroot juice before meals every day, morning and evening. In the case of infants (six months to two years) one teaspoonful will suffice.
