Eat more beets! Whether they’re red or yellow, beets contain inulin, a type of fiber that boosts production of digestive enzymes. And French researchers found they help keep food from hanging out in your gut, producing gas and triggering discomfort. In fact, just a half-cup of beets can help relieve bloat and indigestion within 30-minutes, and cut your risk of heartburn in HALF.

Eat more root vegetables, like carrots, beets, sweet potatoes and turnips. They contain powerful antioxidants that switch on enzymes that heal tissues and boost immunity. In fact, eating a half-cup of root vegetables a day can boost production of virus-attacking white blood cells by 53%! And you get a bonus with orange root vegetables like carrots and yams. Yale researchers say they contain beta-carotene that helps heal throat tissue damaged by acid reflux. So root vegetables can relieve your sore throat – from a cold and acid reflux.

We always hear talk about how GREEN juices are the healthiest. But when it comes to getting fit, here’s why sipping certain RED juices may be better:

First: Drinks containing BEET juice can give you more endurance. That’s according to registered dietician Lauren Slayton. She says beets are high in nitrates that are linked to better blood flow… Which helps your body use oxygen more efficiently, so you can exercise longer, or even faster, with less fatigue. Slayton says you can get the benefits by chopping up three beets, and juicing them with a squeeze of lemon.

Next, adding red RASPBERRIES to your smoothies can help you burn more fat. They contain ketones, which trigger the body to produce a hormone that breaks down fat cells faster than normal.

Finally, remember that after a tough workout, red TOMATO JUICE is the ideal recovery drink. Tomatoes are high in potassium, which our muscles need to prevent cramping and spasms. But we lose potassium during exercise. So, aim to have a serving of tomato juice after every workout.

You can lower your blood pressure by 10 points in just one week by drinking 4 ounces of beet juice every day……Which provides enough nitrates to relax arteries and increase blood flow. And that happens after just 3 hours. If you find beet juice kinda gross – or too strong – you can mix it with a sweeter juice, like pineapple or grape.

Do you drink fresh green juice daily?

That green juice you sip every afternoon could have an unexpected side effect: Stained teeth! Fresh-pressed juice blends made with dark leafy greens and beets contain plant pigments called chromogens… But they can build up on teeth – and as little as one juice a day could cause stains. The effect is a lot greater when you sip the juice, instead of just eating those foods. So sip through a straw so it doesn’t come in contact with your teeth.
