My great food for today is beets. Beets are excellent at purifying the blood and helping the liver. One of the best things about beets is that they reduce homocystein, which is an amino acid that is harmful to blood vessels. Beets also contain lots of potassium and antioxidants. The potassium is helpful in heart health and of course the antioxidants help our immune systems
One other thing about beets, they are a great source of fiber and while they contain the most sugar of any vegetable, they are considered low in calories.
The leaves of the beet plant have even more nutrients than the beets themselves, but aren't the tastiest. You can steam them or just put a few in a green salad with other field greens.
