Singin’ the Beets
We can’t help but sing ‘beets, beets the magical root’ after being enlightened by Dr. Liz about the nutrition elements of this beauty of a root vegetable. Beets owe their bright colors to betalains, color compounds that studies show act as cancer fighters and antioxidants. According to Dr. Liz, studies also show that beet juice provides nitrates, compounds that indirectly improve blood flow and may significantly lower blood pressure as well as improve blood flow during exercise, thereby boosting performance! Steem ’em, roast ‘em or juice ‘em, just make sure you enjoy ‘em!
