Red beets and beet greens
If you suffer from constipation you should consume red beets and beet greens regularly. They are rich in fiber which is necessary for transporting waste materials through the small and large intestines at a healthy pace.
Red beets also have a lot of potassium and magnesium. Beet greens contain beta-carotene, iron and calcium. These nutrients are very important for improving the health of your digestive tract lining and the smooth muscle fibres that create the waves of contractions that produce bowel movements.
The best way of cooking red beets and their green tops is steaming. You need to cut the greens off near the red beet heads. Wash the greens thoroughly with cold water and set them aside. Remove the skin from the red beets, slice them into 1/4 slices and place them in a steamer for about 8-10 minutes or until they start to become slightly tender. Then you should place the beet greens on the top of the red beet slices and put them on the steamer. They should steam for about 5-7 minutes when the beet greens become as soft as you like. You can serve the greens and the red beet slices with a bowl of brown rice or quinoa and also add some slices of avocado. You need to try your dish before you add the sea salt. Beet greens add a natural salty flavour to them.
You need to consume a couple of servings of beet greens per week. If you eat them too often your enamel can weaken because they have an acidic substance. If you don’t want to eat beet greens you need to buy red beets with green tops because loose red beets are not fresh.
