beets, the properties and the juice

i love juicing beets.
there isn't only the health benefits
but the beauty benefits as well..
(lip stain! cheek stain! stain on your hands! stains on your counters! lol)

if you do juice a beet, please keep in mind that if your pee or poop turn pink afterwards for a few days, it's ok!! that means it's working as a thorough detox through your liver and the rest of your system!

benefits of beets:

• Beets contain sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and phosperous! They are also considered a fiber food and contain vitamins A and C as well as niacin
•  Beets contain folic acid which is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells
• Studies have shown that beets guard against cancer, especially colon cancer.
• . Medical studies have also shown that including beets in your diet helps protect a body against heart disease.

gotta love beets...

in my beet juice (i usually juice half a beet at a time...) i add carrots, green apples and ginger usually!!

try it-- you won't be disappointed!

love me,
