Beetroot: Health Benefits
LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Drinking beet juice may help to lower blood pressure in a matter of hours. One study found that drinking one glass of beet juice lowered systolic blood pressure by an average of 4-5 points.3
The benefit likely comes from the naturally occurring nitrates in beets, which are converted into nitric oxide in your body. Nitric oxide, in turn, helps to relax and dilate your blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.
BOOST YOUR STAMINA
If you need a boost to make it through your next workout, beet juice may again prove valuable. Those who drank beet juice prior to exercise were able to exercise for up to 16 percent longer.4 The benefit is thought to also be related to nitrates turning into nitric oxide, which may reduce the oxygen cost of low-intensity exercise as well as enhance tolerance to high-intensity exercise.
FIGHT INFLAMMATION
Beets are a unique source of betaine, a nutrient that helps protects cells, proteins, and enzymes from environmental stress. It's also known to help fight inflammation, protect internal organs, improve vascular risk factors, enhance performance, and likely help prevent numerous chronic diseases.
ANTI-CANCER PROPERTIES
The powerful phytonutrients that give beets their deep crimson color may help to ward off cancer. Research has shown that beetroot extract reduced multi-organ tumor formations in various animal models when administered in drinking water, for instance, while beetroot extract is also being studied for use in treating human pancreatic, breast, and prostate cancers.
RICH IN VALUABLE NUTRIENTS AND FIBER
Beets are high in immune-boosting vitamin C, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium (essential for healthy nerve and muscle function) and manganese (which is good for your bones, liver, kidneys, and pancreas). Beets also contain the B vitamin folate, which helps reduce the risk of birth defects.
DETOXIFICATION SUPPORT
The betalin pigments in beets support your body's Phase 2 detoxification process, which is when broken down toxins are bound to other molecules so they can be excreted from your body. Traditionally, beets are valued for their support in detoxification and helping to purify your blood and your liver.

Blueberries have been associated with the following health benefits:
IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH
Population-based studies have shown that consumption of blueberries can reduce the risk of cognitive decline as well as Parkinson's disease - a neurodegenerative disorder resulting from cell death in parts of the brain.
MAINTAINING HEALTHY BONES
The iron, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc and vitamin K in blueberries all contribute to building and maintaining bone structure and strength.
LOWERING BLOOD PRESSURE
Maintaining a low sodium intake is essential to lowering blood pressure. Blueberries are naturally free of sodium and contain potassium, calcium, and magnesium, all of which have been found to decrease blood pressure naturally.3

MANAGING DIABETES
Studies have shown that type 1 diabetics who consume high-fiber diets have lower blood glucose levels and type 2 diabetics may have improved blood sugar, lipids and insulin levels. One cup of blueberries contributes 3.6 grams of fiber.

Vitamin B6 and folate prevent the buildup of a compound known as homocysteine. When excessive amounts of
PREVENTING CANCER
Vitamin C, vitamin A, and various phytonutrients in blueberries function as powerful antioxidants that help protect cells against free radical damage. They inhibit tumor growth, decrease inflammation in the body and help ward off or slow several types of cancer, including esophageal, lung, mouth, pharynx, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate and colon.

WEIGHT LOSS
Dietary fiber is commonly recognized as an important factor in weight loss and weight management by functioning as a "bulking agent" in the digestive system. High fiber foods increase satiety and reduce appetite, making you feel fuller for longer and thereby lowering your overall calorie intake.
FIGHTING WRINKLES
Collagen, the skin's support system, relies on vitamin C as an essential nutrient that works in our bodies as an antioxidant to help prevent damage caused by the sun, pollution and smoke. Vitamin C also promotes collagen's ability to smooth wrinkles and improve overall skin texture. Just one cup of blueberries provides 24% of your daily need for vitamin C.

GOUT:
Gout is an excruciatingly painful form of arthritis, whereby a build-up of uric acid in the bloodstream gives rise to the deposit of microscopic, needle-like crystals of sodium urate in tissues and joints, causing inflammation.
In 75%-90% of cases, clearance of uric acid by the kidneys is significantly reduced, although other factors such as lifestyle choices play a part.
However, growing scientific evidence suggest that cherries, especially the MONTMORENCY variety, may bring a form of natural relief for many sufferers
Arthritis:
In response to a variety of conditions, the body produces specific enzymes which, in turn cause inflammation in tissues and joints commonly associated with arthritis.
Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen, work by inhibiting these enzymes.
Unfortunately, patients taking these types of pain painkillers on a regular basis may suffer side effects, including kidney damage and ulcers.
FREE RADICALS:
Cellular damage, caused by naturally occurring compounds called free radicals, is a cause of much degenerative disease.
Research at the University of Texas by Dr. Russel J Reiter, has demonstrated that tart cherries, such as the MONTMORENCY variety, contain exceptionally high levels of melatonin, which is believed to be the most powerful antioxidant discovered for eliminating free radicals from the cells.
Restorative Sleep:
Deep level sleep is so crucial for many body functions, such as tissue repair, antibody production, and perhaps even the regulation of various neurotransmitters, hormones and immune system chemicals.
Sleep disorders that frequently occur in Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients are thought to be a major contributing factor to the symptoms of these conditions.
Scientists at Oregon Health Sciences University tested melatonin on a group of people suffering from sleep disorders. The researchers found that nearly all of the subjects developed normal sleep patterns after taking melatonin.
Many sufferers are finding that foods, naturally high in melatonin, like MONTMORENCY cherries, may help their conditions.
