A man where I used to live ate beets every day and told me that he did so

because several years previous (to when I met him) beets had cured his cancer,

which doctors had given up on.

 

I would like to know more about the beetroot diet, if you care to share it.

 

Thanks,

Laura

Hi Laura & all others

Pls find info related to beetroot...

Beetroot (beet) has many good health properties and the nutrients it contains

can help combat disease such as heart disease, certain cancers and protect

against birth defects. Beetroot (beet) contain betacyani which is a powerful

anti-cancer agent and studies have shown that it is especially good in combating

colon cancer. Beetroot (beet) can reduce cholesterol levels by up to 30% which

helps to decrease the risk of heart disease. Beetroot (beet) is high in B

vitamin folate which when eaten in pregnancy can protect the unborn child from

birth defects.

Food Value This vegetable is a good tonic food for health. It contains

carbohydrates, mainly in the form of sugar, and it has a little protein and fat.

Beet is taken in a variety of ways. The skin should be removed before use. The

leaves, like all green vegetables, should be cooked with a small amount of water

and for only a short time. The fresher the beets, the better the flavour and the

quicker they cook.

The beet juice is considered as one of the best vegetable juice. It is a rich

source of natural sugar. It contains sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium,

sulphur, chlorine, iodine, iron, copper, vitamin B1, B2, C and P. This juice is

rich in easily digestible carbohydrates, but the calorie content is low. The

protein factors or amino acids are good in both quality and quantity.

Digestive Disorders Beet juice is beneficial in the treatment of jaundice,

hepatitis, nausea and vomitting due to biliousness, diarrhoea and dysentary.

Adding a teaspoonful of lime juice to this juice increases its medicinal value

and can be given as a liquid food in these conditions. Fresh beet juice mixed

with a tablespoonful of honey taken every morning before breakfast helps the

healing of gastric ulcer.

Leaves of beet root, eaten as green-leafy vegetable and its juice, mixed with

lime juice, are also valuable in jaundice and gastric ulcer. The juice should be

taken once daily. Constipation and Piles The cellulose content of the beet

acts as a bulk residue, increases peristalsis. Its regular use thus prevents

habitual constipation. A decoction of the beet root is highly valuable in

chronic constipation and haemorrhoids, i.e.piles. It may be given in doses of

half to one tumblerful at bed time.

Circulatory Disorders The beet juice is an excellent solvent for inorganic

calcium deposits. It is, therefore, valuable in the treatment of hypertension,

arteriosclerosis, heart trouble and varicose veins.

Kidney and Gall Bladder Disorders The beet juice, in combination with the

juice of carrot and cucumber, is one of the finest cleansing material for

kidneys and gall bladder. It is highly beneficial in all disorders relating to

these two organs.

Skin Disorders The water in which beet roots and tops have been boiled is an

excellent application for boils, skin inflammation and out breaks of pimples and

pustules. The white beet is better for this purpose. For an irritable skin the

body should be sponged down occassionally with a mixture of three parts of beet

water to one part of white vinegar. This mixture is also useful as a skin wash

in cases of measles and eruptive fevers.

Dandruff The decoction of beets mixed with little vinegar can be used

externally to cleanse scurf or dandruff from the head. For dandruff, the beet

water should also be massaged into the scalp with the ginger tip every night.

Sat Nam,

 

I am not sure what exactly this diet consists of. Could you tell us?

 

One time I did beets AND beet greens for 40 days and I am sure there was

something else with it. Maybe yogart for protein. Although I personally don't

eat cow yogart now, just goat's milk yogart (which does not create mucous.) The

beets were cooked. It was important to include the greens.

 

If the beets are raw, you must be most careful. A big glass of beet juice alone

is too potent and can cause too much cleansing all at once.

 

Even cooked beets are cleansing, so you need to monitor the effects this diet is

having on your body.

 

Also beets are very sweet, so you need to include the greens to balance out the

sweetness.

 

One needs to be aware of mono diets to avoid depletion of necesary nutrients for

the body. If you crave sweets or have big swings in energy then the diet does

not include everything that you need.

 

Sat nam,
