Detoxing Beet and Carrot Salad
Prep Time
25 minutes
Prep Notes
The beets in this recipe support the liver's methylation pathway by helping detox excess estrogen, dopamine, histamine and heavy metals (all toxins). Carrots help produce more progesterone (which we can always use in our older body) and bind the antagonistic estrogen metabolites (linked to hormone dependent cancers and breast cancer) so they can be removed from the body. This salad is high in natural sugars, so be sure to eat it with a piece of protein like chicken, fish or lamb.
