Boost your Immune System with Beets!!


A great winter food, red roots help build our immune system by draining our lymph. Beets also are considered beneficial to the blood (as a cleanser), heart, liver and digestive system. They are known to treat skin problems, headaches, lethargy and constipation. They are used to cure bad breath, coughs and headaches. They are also believed to act as an aphrodisiac! Recently, beets have been found to prevent cancer and increase immune system function (this is part of the lymphatic drainage). Beet root is high in many important minerals and micronutrients.
