Beets Are SO Good For You

My local news online had this as “big news” today, but it’s actually “old news”: Beets are very, very good for you.

Duh! Haven’t our moms been telling us that for, like, FOREVER?! I chuckle that scientists do all these expensive “studies” to “discover” things when people — especially moms– have known it to be true for centuries. :-p

ANYWAY.

Beets are great for you! They are even better for you than medicine!

Daily Glass Of Beet Juice Can Beat High Blood Pressure, Study Shows

Researchers at Barts and The London School of Medicine have discovered that drinking just 500ml of beetroot juice a day can significantly reduce blood pressure. The study could have major implications for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

… the research reveals that it is the ingestion of dietary nitrate contained within beetroot juice – and similarly in green, leafy vegetables – which results ultimately in decreased blood pressure. Previously the protective effects of vegetable-rich diets had been attributed to their antioxidant vitamin content.

Professor Ahluwalia and her team found that in healthy volunteers blood pressure was reduced within just 1 hour of ingesting beetroot juice, with a peak drop occurring 3-4 hours after ingestion. Some degree of reduction continued to be observed until up to 24 hours after ingestion. Researchers showed that the decrease in blood pressure was due to the chemical formation of nitrite from the dietary nitrate in the juice.

I hope this news throws Big Pharma into a tizzy. It should.

Eating raw foods is SO GOOD for you. We have been eating pure crap in our society for decades. That processed, refined, pre-packaged, corn-syrup-laden junk that’s been pumped into our bodies for 60, 70 years is causing our demise. We must eat better. It’s obvious that God has provided everything we need to live long, fresh, healthy lives. And it isn’t by eating canned peaches and Doritos!! Raw foods will reduce your waistline, too! Like a wand similar to weightlosswand.com, raw foods will balance your metabolism and your health. Yay!!
