| Beet Root Powder is something everyone should have!
With its super-high nutritional value, Beet Root is essential to the person looking for optimum health, detoxification, and happiness. Yes, I said happiness! Please read on.....
Want to feel good?
Beet Root powder contains high amounts of the amino acid betaine, which acts as a stimulant for the production of SAM-e (S-adenoslmethionine). And SAM-e is known to naturally boost production of certain hormones, such as dopamine and serotonin, the hormones responsible for feelings of well-being, relaxation, and pleasure. Betaine is certainly an anti-depressant of the first order!
About Sam-e: Studies have shown that SAM-e is just as effective as anti-depressant medications without the side affects frequently associated with the medications (headaches, sleeplessness and sexual dysfunction). Plus, antidepressants tend to take six to eight weeks to begin working, while SAM-e seems to begin much more quickly than that. Other studies have shown that SAMe may reduce pain and inflammation in the joints ,as well as promote cartilage repair. It was also found to relieve osteo and rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and was the equivalent to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in diminishing morning stiffness, decreasing pain, reducing swelling, improving range of motion, and increasing walking pace, without the horrible side effects!
Detox and Cleanse!
As well as aiding the body in recovering from depression, Beet Root helps loosen the mucous buildup from the colon walls, thus resulting in a cleaner colon! And that, combined with the betaine's liver detox properties, make Beet Root powder an excellent colon cleanse/detox product.
Get Your Energy Back and Lose Weight!
Did you know that one teaspoon of Beet Root Powder equals a HALF POUND of Beets? That's right, and Beet Root is low in calories and fat too. It's an excellent supplement in a weight loss programs. Beet Root Powder is one of the best-known plant source of assimilable iron. The iron contained in Red Beets is organic and non-irritating and will not cause constipation, so that makes Beet Root an excellent supplement for anemia. It's also great for pregnant women too! Beet Root powder contain phosphorus, sodium (the good kind), magnesium, calcium, iron, and potassium, as well as fiber, vitamins A and C, niacin, folic acid, and biotin. Beet Roots aid circulation, build red corpuscles, and add tone to blood. So here's a convenient way to make Red Beets a part of your daily diet without having to cook them or juice them.
Dosage
Take 1 teaspoon 1 or 2 times a day. Mix with water or juice. Re-hydration is usually instantaneous in liquid. Because Beet Root Juice can have a strong effect on some individuals when they use it for the first time (dizziness due to its strong detoxification), it is suggested that you start out with just a half a teaspoon dose and work your way up to one teaspoon. It is best taken on an empty stomach: 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal.
Serving Suggestions
You can simply mix it with water to make a regular beet juice or try it in juice for a more sweet taste. I put mine in a shake every morning (combined with Wheatgrass powder for a super-healthy mix!). Beet Root powder can be used in pasta and tomato-based sauces, such as spaghetti and barbecue; in dry gravy mixes and sauces; salad dressings; meat, fish, and poultry coatings, and cakes. You can dye your mashed potatoes pink for a fun meal!
For Your Kids
Kids not eating enough vegetables?? Here's a great idea submitted by a clever customer of mine. Empty out your ketchup bottle into a bowl, mix in the Beet Root Powder and pour it back into the container. When your kids put ketchup on their food, they'll actually be having a healthy treat. Sneaky, but effective!
For the Soapmaker & Cosmetic Crafter
Beet Root makes a gorgeous deep red color and can be used to naturally color soaps. For melt & pour soaps, you get a beautiful pink/red color. For the cold process (lye) soaps, you get a rich brown color. Beet Root Powder can be used to dye yarn, wool, and other fabrics too, even homemade paper! You can use this natural colorant for bath fizzies, bath salts, bath powders. Provides soft pink to purple color depending on amount used. Does not leave residue in the bath or on the skin. Does not interfere with scenting. Beet Root Powder can be used to create a deep pink to purple-colored oil with which you can tint skin care products naturally. Use 1 tablespoon of Beet Root Powder and 1/4 cup oil (any vegetable oil is okay). Heat the oil gently over a double boiler until the oil turns a deep pink color. Remove from heat and let it rest, once the powder settles to the bottom pour the oil into a clean container and seal tightly. Refrigeration will extend its life. Use the oil as needed in creams, lotions, soaps, bath salts, bath bombs, lip balms etc.
Quick Lipstick Recipe: Combine 1 teaspoon of Beet Root Powder with 1 teaspoon of 100% Vegetable Glycerin in a saucer. Stir until perfectly smooth. Then add ½ teaspoon of vitamin E oil. Very thick olive oil can be substituted. Apply liberally with your finger or a lipstick brush. |
