Beetroot Juice
Recipes and Health Benefits
Beetroot Juice has a very strong flavour which is best mixed with other juices. A rich ruby red colour it is known to help purify the blood. I like the following combinations.
Beet Juice Recipe with Carrot and Celery
Ingredients
1 small beetroot (the small ones are sweeter)
2 large carrots
1 stalk of celery
Directions
- Wash the vegetables using water and a stiff vegetable brush.
- Remove the carrot and beetroot tops, and peel the beetroot if it's skin is tough. If it has a nice thin skin then just cut off the top.
- Slice up the vegetables to fit your juicer.
- Juice and serve.
For a sweeter drink I often add an apple, or use 2 apples instead of the carrots.
The green beetroot tops are edible, rich in beta-carotene, and can also be juiced. They have a strong flavour and are rich in oxalic acid which if taken in excess may form kidney stones. I find a little goes a long way.
Beetroot Juice with Cucumber and Pineapple
This makes a fabulous drink which is best consumed on an empty stomach as it's very cleansing!
Ingredients
1 small beetroot
½ cucumber
1 cup of pineapple chunks
Directions
- Remove the top from the beetroot and scrub using water and a stiff vegetable brush to remove any dirt.
- Peel or wash the cucumber. If the cucumber is waxed then remove the wax by peeling it.
- Slice the pineapple and remove it's tough skin.
- Cut the fruit and vegetables to fit your juicer.
- Juice and serve.
For an unusual but delicious vegetable juice recipe that uses apples, beetroot, broccoli, nettles and lemon juice visit raw food recipes with nettles.
Health Benefits of Beetroot Juice
Beetroot juice is very potent, and it's recommended that you drink the raw juice diluted at least 4 times with other milder juices such as carrot, cucumber, or celery.
Beets have many benefits to the body. It is claimed they have the ability to:
- clean and build the blood
- improve circulation
- calm the nerves
- improve the health of the liver, kidneys, and bladder
- clean the intestines
- fight cancer
- improve menstrual problems
- cure anemia
Caution:
Beet greens and to a lesser extent beet roots are high in oxalate, and are generally considered unsuitable for people following a low-oxalate diet.
Anyone with a history of oxalate-containing kidney stones should avoid over-consuming beetroot and beet greens.
Please consult a doctor or a registered dietitian to make sure you’re following the best diet for your condition before you make any changes to your diet.
Beets Nutrition
Not only are raw beets a beautiful colour, but they are also packed with nutrients.
Vitamins
Beetroots are a good source of folic acid and vitamin C, plus they contain small amounts of vitamins B1, B2, B3, and vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene.
Minerals
Rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Plus smaller amounts of iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium.
Amino Acids
While raw beets are mostly water and carbohydrate they also contains small amounts of all the amino acids (protein).
Calories
One 2" (5cm) beetroot contains 35 calories.
If you'd like more raw beetroot nutrition facts go to the USDA National Nutrient Database and enter "raw beets" into the search box.

I feel so sore today
Yesterday's tuina was pure torture
I dunno if stiff muscles where I can't straighten is better or soreness from losen muscles is better.
Seriously I'm considering going for a MRI coz the pain I get from my hurt back 'shoots down my legs' It's a kind of prickly, numbing kind of pain and ths kind of pain is usually associated with injured nerves :(

Oh..... Thio Su-Mien wrote in to ST forum today, talking about how the current exco has a gay agenda, etc, etc.....
Among other things, she claimed that AWARE's neutral stance on anal sex would supposedly cultivate homosexuality among the kids and that it was illegal to begin with.
I was like, uh.... wasn't anal sex decriminalized a few years ago? ![]()
And I honestly find it hard to see how treating it neutrally leads to our kids becoming homo.... the instructors don't exactly teach our schoolkids how to drop soap, no? ![]()
Ah.... here we go:
I mean spinal pai seh...

Actually gays are part of nature too
I mean we all heard of gay animals before.
The thing is that I rather they teach the kids a neutral stand because these kids are usually confused and having some guide is better than them learning among themselves.
Just my 2 cents
