BEETS FOR BLOOD FLOW
Beets are purple vegetables and purple vegetables are great for blood flow. For this reason, we eat a lot of beets in our house. Roasted Beets with Balsamic Glaze & Fresh Herbs is a usual at our table as well as my Beet Kvass. Beet Kvass is a fermented beverage I make often with beets. My son drinks Beet Kvass before every workout and my husband drinks his daily dose of purple too…for obvious reasons. My doctor calls beets, “Nature’s Viagra”.
Whether it be Roasted Beets with Balsamic Glaze & Fresh Herbs or Beet Kvass, we all need good blood flow and healthy blood pressure. Although I am not a doctor and not prescribing anything, I can pass on the fact that eating colorful fruits and vegetables is extremely healthy and healing to the body…naturally. Hypocrites, the Father of Medicine, is quoted as saying, “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”
