At 60, This One Food Helped Restore My Vision, Clean My Liver, and Detox My Colon
As we age, it’s easy to feel like our energy, digestion, and even our eyesight just aren’t what they used to be. I’m 60 now, and for a long time, I struggled with poor vision, sluggish digestion, and fatty liver issues. But then I discovered a simple, natural food that changed everything for me—beets. Yes, this humble root vegetable has truly transformed my health, and I’m sharing my go-to recipe in hopes it can help you too.
Why Beets?
Beets are packed with nutrients that support your body from the inside out:
- Vision Support: Rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene), lutein, and zeaxanthin—key nutrients for eye health.
- Liver Detox: Beets contain betaine and antioxidants that help cleanse and protect the liver, especially from fat buildup.
- Colon Cleanse: High in fiber, beets help move waste through your system and keep your digestive tract functioning smoothly.
- Heart & Blood Pressure: The natural nitrates in beets improve circulation and support cardiovascular health.
- Energy Boost: They increase oxygen flow to the muscles and brain, keeping you alert and active.
