Yellow Beet Green Elixir Juice

Have you ever heard or seen yellow golden beets? I've made delicious sweet vegetable juice recipes before, but this one was unique because I used a different beet color. I only seen and heard about red beets, but not yellow golden ones. Well, I didn't know that there were yellow golden ones until today. My dad and I were shopping in our local grocery store, and my dad spotted these golden babies. And they were right next to the red beets.

So I came home and I did my research. I found that you can get a number of health benefits with these. Yellow golden beets are great
for heart health, lowering blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. It is also a great kidney cleanse too. But those who suffer from kidney disease (due to research and studying), or have poor livers and kidneys, it is recommended that you only take 1-2 beet root per juice (it depends on how strong your livers and kidneys are), to slowly detox. They have videos on YouTube talking about juicing beets and info- which I recommend watching.

Your liver is your bodies filter. Think of it like this: your liver is like a sponge. Whatever you eat, drink, and smell goes to your liver (sponge). Why am I comparing a liver to a sponge, you may ask? Well, because for example, you pour soap and all these harsh detergents onto a sponge. Over time, this sponge will worn out and get filthy. Well same concept goes with your liver. The only difference is the pouring soap on a sponge. But hopefully, you get what I’m trying to say. So in due time, your liver gets tired and has to work extra hard to filter and work along with your body.

I mean, just imagine all the bad frying oils, fast foods, soda, etc., throughout the years. Your liver needs a detox cleanse. What better way to detox your liver by drinking this beet juice. There’s many ways to detox your liver. Eat bitter vegetables like dandelion (yes, dandelion is edible), kale, beets, etc. Believe it or not, the bitter the vegetables, the better the benefits your liver will cleanse and detox quicker.

Beets roots are great for detox; making this juice an elixir. Yellow golden beets contain fiber, potassium, iron, folic acid, cleanse the liver, colon,
kidneys, and your bloodstreams. The yellow beets have a more mildly-sweet taste, unlike the red ones. Also, a little known fact: the yellow beets won't stain your knife, cutting board, or your clothes; unlike the red ones. Drink this elixir. Your liver will thank you.
