The Health Benefits of Beets

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

Considering how healthy beets are for us, it is surprising how little people think about eatting them. Their flavor isn't very strong, but may take a bit to get used to. Beets are oozing with goodness.

Beets are very high in antioxidants, which ultimately help to fight aging. Antioxidants help fight damage done by free radicals that run around everyone's body. Free radicals cause damage to cells, and antioxidants can be a huge help. Furthermore research is beginning to show that beets can potentially slow down and/ or fight cancer cells. This is wonderful news because they can be so easily added to your diet.

Beets are also a great way to detoxify your body. They increase your fiber intake which is good for your digestion and your heart. With all these great health benefits, why not eat them?

You don't just have ot eat the beetroot, but can also gain a lot of health benefits from eatting the greens as well. Beet greens are rich in calcium, iron, and vitamin A then its roots are. Beet greens are fairly strong tasting, as many of the leafy green veggies are. So how do you eat beets? My favorite is pickled beets. They are sweet, and are outstanding additions to your daily salads. You can purchase your own picked beets at most grocery stores, or you can make your own pickled beats very easily also. You can soak them in a brine with vinegar and sugar to make your own refrigerator beet.

For many other ways to eat them, check out  The Antiinflammation Diet and Recipe Book. This book provides a very wide range of healthy recipes to be enjoyed. As I stated earlier eating beets may take a bit of getting used to but even children can learn to enjoy this burgundy colored veggie.
