Beets are the most well-known blood cleanser, they lower blood pressure, heal acne, help boost the liver, colon, gall bladder. ► http://www.care2.com/greenliving/8-beet-benefits-aphrodisiac-brain-booster-more.html. One can puree beets together with watermelon or a soft fruit using a blender and obtain an amazingly healthy and awesome tasting smoothie. Raw is best for retaining all the good nutrients.

"As a source of nitrate, beetroot ingestion provides a natural means of increasing in vivo nitric oxide (NO) availability and has emerged as a potential strategy to prevent and manage pathologies associated with diminished NO bioavailability, notably hypertension and endothelial function. Beetroot is also being considered as a promising therapeutic treatment in a range of clinical pathologies associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Its constituents, most notably the betalain pigments, display potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and chemo-preventive activity in vitro and in vivo." ► https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4425174/ - free full paper - Nutrients. 2015 Apr; 7(4): 2801–2822.

http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2348/2 shows nutrition info of beets, like 43 calories per 100 grams (carrots have 41, watermelon 30, zukini 16 calories, tomatoes 18 calories in 100 grams). Surprisingly, beet amino acid score is 71 and they got 1.6 grams of protein in 100 grams (watermelon only 0.6 grams), higher than many fruits and veggies, bananas have only 62 score.

If your urine is pink or red after eating beets, you may have low stomach acid, a risk factor for 25 diseases. Low stomach acid can cause acne, hair loss, and increase the risk for developing other diseases. :) ► http://www.terawarner.com/blog/2012/05/do-the-beet-test-how-to-tell-if-you-have-low-stomach-acid-weak-digestion/. You can confirm this with the betaineHCl test (you can get some from amazon or any store, 7.7$ i think minimum https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Betaine-Capsules-120-Count/dp/B000NRTXGW), take a little of this and if no stomach acidity felt, then you are low in stomach acid, a condition affecting half of people over 50 and many people under 50 or even under 30. Google it and you'll get more info, there is even a really advanced Heidelberg test that measures exactly your pH in the stomach.► http://hansacenter.com/simple-at-home-test-for-low-stomach-acid/ (has other cheap methods to determine this, using baking soda, etc)

https://www.amazon.com/BulkSupplements-Pure-Betaine-Powder-Kilograms/dp/B00GW6L3SE?th=1 is for buying a lot of it, if you are sure you have low stomach acid.


► VEGANISM ◄

For 100+ reasons I didn't eat meat for 21 years and dairy for 13 years (12% of millennials have already given up meat in America) see ► https://plus.google.com/+AlexP/posts/EkQQAE68fCm. Going vegan is like planting 62 trees in your backyard, as far as CO2 emissions reduction. 💜😊💜
