British scientists have made a discovery that can turn ordinary soup into an extraordinary energizer and metabolism turbocharger. All you have to do is…add beets. Turns out, a daily serving of the humble root veggie helps us burn more calories, lose more fat, target ab flab and increase muscle strength by up to 350% in just two weeks. These findings inspired Souping Is the New Juicing author Cheri Calbom, M.S., C.N., to see if her beet soup and hidden-beet smoothie recipes might help her tens of thousands of followers jump-start their health goals. “I’m blown away by how well it’s working,” says Calbom, whose testers report triple energy and losses of up to 9 pounds a week. Terry Huffer, 64, is even back in clothes that were too tight for years. Read on for Terry’s story and to find out how sneaking in beets might transform your body.
Before we go further, Calbom wants beet haters to know this plan can work for you too. “You don’t taste beets in a berry smoothie,” she promises, admitting she used to hate veggies and hide them in fruity drinks as she battled health issues.
“It made me better so fast, I went to school to become a nutritionist. I’m proof it’s okay to sneak your veggies!” Another option: popular gummies like Total Beets or SuperBeets (25¢ to 93¢ per serving at superstores). Made from powdered beets, they have the same key nutrients as their fresh counterparts. And when it comes to those nutrients, well… they’re hard to beat.
Yes!
Beets boost blood flow everywhere, including the brain—so it’s no wonder studies show a single serving temporarily boosts memory by 21%.
