The Health Benefits of Beets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beets are a powerful blood and liver cleanser<\/a><\/strong>. Consumption of beets helps to cool and cleanse the blood by flushing the bile, which has a tendency to thicken over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High in iron, beets\u2014like most red foods\u2014also help to build good new blood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raw beets have a hot nature, which makes them most beneficial for Vata and Kapha doshas, but after they are cooked, they become more cooling, which is better for Pitta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use your judgement when enjoying beets. They can turn your urine and\/or stools red, so don\u2019t be alarmed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti-inflammatory Spices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this recipe, you\u2019ll add warming anti-inflammatory ingredients like vinegar, black pepper, garlic, and clove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spices are necessary to add flavor and interest to this oil-free soup. Oils and fats are great carriers of flavor, so be generous. If you feel like adding extra after tasting, then do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warming spices are balanced by the cooling bittersweet flavors of the carrots, onions, and cabbage. So, overall this recipe is quite balanced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy this naturally sweet treat while on a cleanse, or any time you want some gentle support for comfortable digestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
