12. Beets

Beets are a great source of fiber, which is essential for healthy digestion. They can help prevent constipation and promote regular bowel movements. Beets also contain betaine, a compound that helps support healthy liver function. The liver plays a crucial role in digestion by producing bile, which helps break down fats. Roasting concentrates their natural sugars and flavor, but raw or lightly steamed beets retain more of their digestive enzymes.
