Abstract

Malnutrition and anemia are major concerns for adolescent girls. The reproductive years of life and beyond can be severely impacted by inadequate nutrition during adolescence. In India, girls frequently get married and have children before their development spurt is over, which doubles their chance of developing anemia (Chatterjee, 2008). Because of its high nitrate concentration and beta carotene content (19690 mcg/100g), beetroot juice with jaggery helps anemic individuals mobilize stored iron and raise their hemoglobin levels. Beet juice is used to relieve anxiety and is thought to have a blood pressure stabilizing effect. It is thought to enhance athletic performance, reduce blood pressure, and improve blood flow in people with diabetes. Eating beets is advised in cases of gonorrhea due to the diuretic action of beetroot juice, which is occasionally used with Amla juice added. Beetroot juice reduces diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. In addition to relieving stomach pain during periods and preventing anemia by maintaining a normal amount of blood cells, jaggery's high iron and folate content helps adolescents with a variety of menstruation difficulties. Beetroot juice aids in the absorption of iron, which raises blood counts, improves circulation, and increases erythrocytes' ability to carry oxygen.
