Simple, delicious and good for your liver salad from red beets.
This beet salad with herring tastes fancy but it is SO EASY to make. It reminds me of my Russian heritage. Russians eat a lot of red beets and dishes from red beets are always part of any entertainment.
The health benefits of beets range from lower blood pressure to improved athletic performance.
Beets can improve cardiovascular health, decrease inflammation and lower blood pressure.
These red beauties contain high levels of natural nitrates, which are converted to nitric oxide within the arteries. This causes the blood vessels in the heart and organs to dilate, which lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow.
Beets are high in betalains, a group of cancer-fighting antioxidants. Betalains include betacyanins, which give beets their dark red and purple color. Betalains decrease inflammation by increase risk for chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
The phytonutrients in beets are also amazing for decreasing inflammation in the liver and kidneys, and perform the detoxification of these organs by increasing the production of glutathione, which is the body’s natural detox mechanism.
