Organic kale, carrots & golden beets 😍 super simple, super tasty. I went looking for red beets and was pleasantly surprised to find golden beets 😃 I am a sucker for root vegetables! golden beets contain phytonutrients called betalains - providing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory & detoxification support. The anti-inflammatory mechanism in beets is their ability to inhibit the activity of COX-1 & COX-2 enzymes, which trigger inflammation - under most circumstances, when inflammation is needed, this production of pro-inflammatory molecules is a good thing. However, under other circumstances, such as the body undergoing chronic inflammation - production of these enzymes can make things worse. These golden beets are high in fiber, iron, potassium, folic acid, vitamin c, vitamin a, beta-carotene, lycopene, flavonoids and anti-oxidants. Golden beets are good for the eyes& heart, they are excellent kidney and body cleansers, lower blood pressure & cholesterol, helps anemia & fatigue, Chronic inflammation, diabetes, as well as helping protect against cancers - especially colon cancer. Eat your beets 💛
