Beets contain compounds like Betaine , Folate and B12 which support Methylation — a key process that promotes cellular health and turns on genes for healthy aging . Beets also play an active role in supporting healthy liver function which is critical for removing toxins and managing weight .
WHAT IS METHYLATION ?
Methylation is the simple on / off switch that turns on healthy genes and turns off mutagenic genes . In order for the methylation “ gears ” to run effectively , a number of core nutrients are needed to run the machinery . Garden of Life Beets are designed to deliver key nutrients such as Folate , B12 and Betaine that support methylation and other crucial biochemical processes .
REVITALIZE WITH BEETS DETOX POWDER
While beets are known to be good for us because they contain vitamins , minerals , polyphenols , and antioxidants including Betalain — as well as heart healthy nitrates — many people don ’ t enjoy eating beetroot or drinking beetroot juice . So , we decided to make life easier with a convenient and delicious Cranberry Pomegranate Beets Detox drink powder .
WHY WE NEED TO DETOXIFY
Today , there are 80,000 plus man – made chemicals that are foreign to the human body . Our bodies are on overload because not only do we have to figure out how to break down these exotoxins ( from the external environment ), but we also have to neutralize them . Then we must excrete them rapidly from our body while also doing the same with the metabolic waste products produced by consuming today ’ s modern diet with all the chemicals that it contains . Yikes ! So , the best approach is to always eat clean organic food whenever possible and to avoid chemical toxins in food and drinks , cosmetics , and household products . Most health-conscious shoppers understand the importance of eating clean and often seek supplements to assist with healthy natural detoxification .
HOW DOES THE BODY DETOXIFY ?
Toxins and waste materials are carried away from cells and organs in the blood which is filtered through the liver . The liver is a crucial organ in the detoxification process . In the first step of liver detoxification — called Phase I — toxins are broken down into smaller molecules and fat-soluble toxins are transformed into water soluble so they can be excreted in the urine . Phase 1 detoxification in the liver requires many nutrients to function . The liver then undergoes Phase 2 detoxification , which involves neutralizing the toxins by conjugating them with other compounds through various processes . Again , key nutrients are required to support these processes so that the water-soluble waste materials can be eliminated quickly .
