Beets,
Beetroot has been used as a food and medicine
since early times. Its minerals and photochemical resist
infection, boost cellular intake of oxygen and treat
blood, liver and immune system disorders. Beetroot stimulates
the immune system by improving cell respiration and tissue
oxygenation. It does this by encouraging the production
of new red blood cells (erythropoiesis). The enhanced
cell respiration helps keep the heart, muscles and nerves
in good condition. There is some evidence that eating
beetroot causes some cancer cells to revert to normal
or die.

Beetroot
can be used to treat cancers (particularly leukemia),
skin problems, chronic infections, inflammatory bowel disease
and in the prevention and treatment of heart disease and rheumatoid
arthritis. It also aids fat metabolism and liver function.
It has no harmful side effects and is usually well tolerated.
For best effect eat two medium sized beetroots daily. Beetroot
is as effective cooked as it is raw or juiced. Betanin, the
pigment in beetroot, may colour faeces and urine red but this
is harmless and disappears when you stop eating the vegetable.
