21-Day Beet Juice Program

For Liver Health

Beet Juice: Go to the grocery store and pick up some organic beats. Get the fresh ones, not the ones in a can. Cut the greens from the top of the beet-root, then rinse the red beets under warm water to get the dirt off. Using a juicer (my favorite is the Omega - Ultimate Performance Batch Juicer), juice the beet and drink it down within 30 minutes of making it according to the following schedule:

 Week 1: 2 ounces per day

 Week 2: 3 ounces per day

 Week 3: 4 ounces per day

It is okay (and advisable) to mix the beet juice with any other fresh squeezed juices -for taste and therapeutic benefit. One of my favorite recipes is: carrots, green apples, beets. It is best if you use organic fruits and veggies, but if they prove too pricey, then get whatever you can. The amount of the carrots and green apples you use is irrelevant. Experiment with different amounts to find what tastes best to you. You MUST, however, measure the beet juice amounts. It doesn’t matter if you get exactly the number of ounces recommended – as this is hard to do with the juicer. Get as close as you can to the mark. Be advised that at some point during this 21-day program your urine and or your stool will turn red or pink. You will think that you are bleeding. You are not. It is the beet juice. I would only do this program for 21 days at a time. If you like how it makes you feel, then wait three weeks and repeat the entire 21-day program.
