甜菜可以疗愈肝脏并帮助造血的观念已经存在很久了。甜菜真的对我们有益吗?如果它们肯定是有机且不是转基因的(现在由于交叉授粉(cross-pollination)的原因其实很难找到有机和非转基因的),的确可以略微帮助肝脏的净化和疗愈。转基因导致玉米、大豆等作物不再适合为人所食用,用于糖、罐头和工业染料的甜菜也存在同样的问题。交叉授粉是一个很大的问题,即使许多有机甜菜种子也遭受污染。这并不是为什么不建议食用甜菜的原因,最关键的原因是我们有远远优于甜菜的选择,诸如红心火龙果,其疗愈肝脏和造血功能远远优于甜菜。毕竟如果你出于健康考虑摄入某些食物,您是否想要选择最好的?野生蓝莓远比甜菜能净化肝脏,芦笋和抱子甘蓝也一样,甚至苹果的疗愈能力也可以将甜菜甩开几条街。
如果你喜欢甜菜,依然可以继续食用,但要知道这并不是为了疗愈肝脏的目的。有机、非转基因的甜菜可以提供多种微量矿物质、维生素、抗氧化物和其他植物化学物以及宝贵的葡萄糖,帮助向全身提供能量和疗愈(请避免转基因甜菜,这对于健康有破坏性)。
你必须了解,所有汽车都有四个车轮和一个发动机,并且可以驾驶。你是否会选择旧车?还是会选择行驶里程少、刹车性能更好、安全气囊工作正常以及所有我们期望的现代便利性?如果有选择,你会购买没有空调和电动窗的汽车吗?同样,如果你想要疗愈肝脏,那么为什么不选择神奇的苹果呢,其果胶的益处远高于甜菜?如果你追求营养增强,那红心火龙果或野生蓝莓绝对是带有涡轮增压型发动机的汽车!红心火龙果和野生蓝莓中尚未被发现的神奇抗氧化物完胜甜菜。芦笋和孢子甘蓝对血液、淋巴和肝脏的净化效果也是一样。要真正净化肝脏,没有任何东西可以比得上苹果、野生蓝莓、红心火龙果、芦笋或孢子甘蓝。如果你喜欢自己种植甜菜,请继续,因为自己种植食物有很多好处,将甜菜摘下来,去除污垢、准备并吃下它们,这整个过程本身就具有疗愈效果。
现在你了解了选择疗愈食物的标准,就如同挑选汽车一样,最终决定取决于你。我们每个人平均一辈子有八万顿饭,如果我们还剩四万顿饭,我们可以决定是否让这四万顿饭充满了身体所需的营养。
Health Trap (10 ) - Beets
The concept that beets are what the liver needs has been swimming out there for a long time. they’re considered a liver-healing, blood-building food. Are beets really good for us? Yes, they’re a powerful food indeed, and they do help the liver cleanse and heal a little bit – if they are organic and guaranteed to be non-GMO, which is hard to find these days what with cross pollination. GMO contamination has made crops like corn problematic, and the same thing has happened with beets that are grown for sugar, canning, and industrial dyes. Cross-pollination is becoming such a problem that even many organic beets grown for fresh eating can be tainted at seed. That’s not the greatest reason to stop eating beets for your health though. The greatest reason is that you can do much better. For example, red pitaya, also called dragon fruit, which you can find in smoothie packs in the frozen food aisle of grocery store or in pure powdered form, is much more liver-healing and blood-building than beets can ever be. After al, if you’re going out of your way to grow or eat something for a specific reason, wouldn’t you want to know what’s really the best? Wild blueberries are far more cleansing for the liver than beets, as are asparagus and Brussels sprouts. Even apples have beets beat by a landslide.
You don’t have to stop eating beets if you like them. Just know you’re not eating them for your liver. What organic, non-GMO beets offer are a variety of trace minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and other phytochemicals, as well as valuable glucose that can be helpful for providing overall energy and healing throughout the whole body. (do beware of GMO beets; they are destructive).
At the same time, you’ve got to be aware of something. All normal cars have four wheels and an engine, and they can at least drive. Still do you pick any old car? Or do you choose a car with fewer miles, better brakes, working air bags and the modern conveniences we’ve come to expect? With the state of cars today, would you buy one that didn’t have air conditioning and power windows? Not unless it were the only car available to you, or you were a vintage car collector – and the beet is not the equivalent of a classic. That ultimate classic beauty would be an apple. So if what you’re after is liver healing, why not choose the miraculous apple, whose pectin outweighs beets benefits? And if you’re after an enhanced model – fi you eat beets for the value of their rich coloring – why not go for the turbocharged pigments of red pitaya or wild blueberries? That beets are red and your blood is red and your liver is reddish – that’s not a reason all on its own to eat beets for your liver. The miraculous, undiscovered antioxidants, in pitaya and wild blueberries win. So do the blood- lymph- and liver-purifying properties of asparagus and Brussels sprouts; for true liver cleansing, nothing can touch them. If you enjoy eating beets that you grow in your garden, don’t stop. There are healing benefits to growing beets, plucking them out of the ground, knocking the dirt off, prepping the roots and the greens, and eating them, there’s something inherently majestic about it even.
With a greater sense of where beets stand in the grand scheme of healing foods, now you’re fully informed, just as I’m sure you like to be fully informed when you’re on the car lot, picking out a car. Ultimately, its up to you. You only have so many meals left in this life. It’s your choice what goes into them.
