Welcome back for some more health and fitness tips this Friday. Here at AMG we’ll be promoting “Health & Fitness Fridays” where we will provide nutrition and fitness tips for healthy living to our patients and community members. We hope you enjoyed our advice on “Eating your Greens” last Friday, you can review that post below if you missed it! Don’t forget to check out our Facebook Page for any updates happening within Advanced Medical Group and the Manor Village Life Centres.
Today’s tip has come from our Executive Chef, Paul Krohn, who operates the Apple-A-Day Bistro here at AMG. At the Bistro, Chef Paul creates healthy meals daily. Chef Paul boasts a variety of selection each day in the Bistro and many salads that include beets are offered on his menu. The Bistro prepares numerous salads, soups, sandwiches, and wraps that are a great healthy choice for lunch! Chef Paul has listed the value of “Eating Beets!” below:
Eating Beets
- Drinking beet juice helps lower blood pressure. Beets naturally produce nitrates which our body converts into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps relax our blood vessels, thus lowering blood pressure.
- The nitrates in beets also help improve our stamina.
- Fight inflammation. Beets are a great source of betaine which protect cells, proteins and enzymes from environmental stress.
- Beets have anti-cancer properties.
- High in vitamin C, fiber, potassium and manganese helping everything from muscles, to nerve function to bone, liver and kidney protection.
- Helps to detoxify your liver. Betalin pigments in beets help phase two detoxification process.
Come by and pick up a jar of our pickled beets prepared by Chef Paul himself! Or you can try one of our delicious salads that feature beets!
