Development of Beetroot Juice for Preventing Menstrual Cramps

Abstract

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a type of root vegetable that is also known as red beet, garden beet, table beet, or simply beet. Beetroots are high in nutrients. Beets are delicious raw, but they are more commonly juiced, cooked, or pickled. I have done my dissertation on beetroot juice by removing oxalate and I tried to observe how it works on women's bodies during menstruation. Menstruation is the normal vaginal bleeding that arises during a woman's monthly cycle. Periods generally start between the ages of 11 and 14 and last until menopause, which occurs around the age of 51. They typically last three to five days. Aside from vaginal bleeding. Women have experienced abdominal or pelvic cramping pain, lower back pain, bloating and sore breasts, food cravings, mood swings irritability, headaches, and fatigue during this time. A girl's life is undergoing emotional and physical transformations currently. The most common issue that women have with their periods is pain. More than half of women who have periods experience pain during their cycle. Some women may only experience feelings of heaviness in the abdomen or a tugging in the pelvic area. Other women have severe cramps that are not the same as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) pain. This is a very important issue for any girl of any country. I have compared two things because the health benefits of beetroot juice can eliminate the reasons why a girl suffers so much during menstruation. Beetroot have fiber, folate (vitamin B9), calcium, manganese, potassium, iron, sodium, and vitamin C, among other nutrients. Here, Magnesium may help in the prevention of menstruation pain. Magnesium may help some girls avoid dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps). It reduces period discomfort by relaxing the uterine smooth muscle and decreasing the prostaglandins that cause it. Potassium can prevent a lot of muscle pains and the reduction of bloating. Sodium levels are lower during the follicular phase and higher during the luteal phase. In comparison to no treatment, placebo, or daily supplementation, iron in menstruation women may be a beneficial strategy for lowering anemia and improving hemoglobin concentrations. Calcium reduces core PMS symptoms and other negative effects like water retention, food cravings, and pain in the luteal phase of the cycle. Then vitamin C protects against skin problems. If all this quality is present in a food, then it will help to reduce the complication that girls face during menstruation. After making this juice, I checked its property in Bangladesh Reference Institute for Chemical Measurements. And I get a specific amount of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, vitamin C in this juice. Which is effective in solving this problem. But no iron was found in Bangladeshi beetroot. But in the case of my report, the other nutrients which I found in beetroot after lab testing are very helpful in reducing the problem of menstruation. In our country girls are use some common treatments to reduce their complications. I did my work on 15- to 35-year-old women. These are common pain relievers, Prescribed pain relievers, Traditional remedies, Hot baths, Meditation, Exercise, Excess sleep or rest, herbal drinks, etc. But when they drink beetroot juice after some time, they feel good. My target was to reduce pain, inching, back or leg pain, mood swings, etc. And after a survey among 40 female volunteers, the feedback was too good, and a large target group of people agreed to drink it further.
