‘Tis the season to eat, drink and be a little too merry…Opps! It happens to the best of us, right? If you should find yourself in this situation, use my Beet Inflammation Elixir. Beets are packed with nutrients and research has shown that beet juice can lower high blood pressure in one day! The beet greens are alkalizing, which is anti-inflammatory and energizing. Pineapple contains bromelain which historically has been used for stomach ailments as well as to curb inflammation. Fresh ginger can also calm an upset stomach and has anti-inflammatory properties. Sound like something that could help after a Thanksgiving feast? You bet.
