Why Eat BEETS
Great website here on nutrition of beets, right down to the cytokines and blood markers affected by some of the nutrients: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=49
I never used to eat beets. I bought my first beets to prep for my spring cleanse this year. I was eating smoothies of beet, celery and carrot. I think I'm going to learn a few more beet recipes. Got any?
( Notes here. Beets lower IL-6, TNFalpha, CRP, homocysteine, 'bad' cholesterol & triglycerides, and increase 'good' cholesterol and glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase in the liver. This is all great news. )
