Beets! Beets! Beets!

Personally I like beets...my family isn't a big fan, but I cook them well enough that they eat them. Here I cooked beets after making them look like noodles. I just throw some coconut oil into a pan and add the beets. To get rid of the root taste, I add coconut vinegar or balsamic vinegar to give it a nice acid that is pleasant. Lemon juice works well too. I am also a salt lover...I know, I know...but I use sea salt which is better than regular table salt. I then usually make some potatoes or rice along with a protein of choice.

The benefits of beets include 1) lowering blood pressure, 2) boost your stamina (we can all use that as adults), 3) fight inflammation, 4) It has anti-cancer properties, 5) gives us detoxification support, and 6) gives us great nutrients and fiber. The nutrients are vitamin C, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium (essential for healthy nerve and muscle function) and manganese (which is good for your bones, liver, kidneys, and pancreas). Beets also contain the B vitamin, which helps reduce the risk of birth defects.
