Generally speaking, the benefits of beetroot juice may vary depending on the individual and their specific body constitution, or prakriti. Expectations for changes in energy levels or health should be considered alongside other lifestyle factors you may have. From an Ayurvedic perspective, improving energy levels involves balancing the doshas and strengthening your agni, as well as focusing on the sapta dhatus.
Ten days can be short to witness significant internal changes, especially if there’s a deeper imbalance. Beetroots are considered grounding and cooling, which can pacify pitta and vata to some extent. For prawna agni enhancement, which may help in boosting energy, incorporating warming spices like ginger or cumin in your diet could be more beneficial along with the juice.
The quantity matters too. It is advisable to start with small amounts, like 1/4th to 1/2 cup of fresh juice daily to avoid potential digestive issues, which can hinder energy improvement if taken excessively. Ensure you consume it on an empty stomach in the morning for optimal absorption.
The juice alone often isn’t a comprehensive solution. Evaluate your entire diet and lifestyle—ensuring a diet does not aggravate vata, including regular meal times, avoiding processed foods, and ensuring adequate rest. Sometimes it may even take weeks for cumulative lifestyle changes to show their effects.
However, if you have persistent low energy, other factors could be at play such as anemia or thyroid issues, which require professional medical evaluation- to rule out underlying medical concerns. Continue observing how your body reacts and adjust as needed. Patience, alongside consistent healthy practices, often provides the desired improvements over time.
