I have always loved beet and goat cheese salad but I was intrigued to try this eastern inspired recipe. I enjoy exploring how eastern philosophy can translate our nutrients into healing therapies. For example, beets actually increase bile flow, which is needed, since bile helps carry and move toxins out of the body. If they’re not, then we end up feeling toxic and irritable. According to eastern philosophy, beets help increase liver energy.The beets deep red pigment (color) known as beta cyanin is a powerful cancer fighting agent.Beet fiber has a favorable effect on bowel function too. Ginger and Cinnamon have expansive qualities that help move suppressed energy and increase circulation.Ginger and Cinnamon are not only warming and comforting to the soul, but they can boost brain function from an aromatherapy perspective. Whether it’s about their expansive qualities or because they help move blood within the system, it does wonders for creating a super mental strength. So, Diva's--let food be thy medicine and enjoy this powerful nutrient dense recipe
