How to Detox With This Miracle Food

Beet Borscht: An Extremely Effective Liver Cleanser
'When a region of the country is named after a food recipe, it must have great significance. Borscht was such an important part of the diet of an entire culture that they brought it from the old country and kept it alive in their new home. But why?

'Beets are a unique source of phytonutrients called betalains. Betanin and vulgaxanthin are the two best-studied betalains from beets, and both have been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support. The detox support provided by betalains includes support of some especially important Phase 2 detox steps involving glutathione.

Make Your Own Pickled Beets
'But while the rest of the city was running rabid to the store last night, desperately nabbing food to get them through the weekend of snow drifts, I was able to just walk down the steps to my basement and look over my shelves of preserved goodies that have been such a treat over this entire winter: pears, peaches, beans, jams, and pickled beets.

When I was a girl, my mom would make large batches of jars full of bright pink chunks of pickled beets, and it was my job to cart them down the narrow stairs to our root cellar to fill the cupboards there. I’m not sure if it was resentment for all the lugging or just the underdeveloped tastes of a kid, but pickled beets equaled “yuck!” in my young mind. Oddly enough, I don’t think we ever ate fresh beets, roasted or otherwise, when I was growing up.'
Note: For healthier beets: Substitute Sucanat for sugar. And use raw, apple cider vinegar instead of distilled, white vinegar.
