Beets are an incredible, natural detoxifier for the liver. Thanks to high amounts of pectin, a fiber that helps clear toxins from the body, they’re an amazing addition to a Spring cleanse. They’re also antioxidant-rich and promote heart, lung, colon, and skin health so be “Smart” and eat up, even if you’re not detoxing.
