Folate is one of those nutrients that helps protect babies against birth defects – especially early in pregnancy. Not only that, but beet root juice also supports both diastolic and systolic blood pressure. So mamas that are worried about preeclampsia or have a history of high blood pressure might benefits from including beets in their diet throughout pregnancy!
