The result is incredible since this combination of foods has allowed them to eliminate fat from their liver, improve their vision and cleanse their colon by regaining normal stools. The star ingredient of this diet is simply beetroot.

These components have proven to be powerful antioxidants that help prevent damage caused by free radicals linked to cancer, diabetes and other chronic diseases. It also has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and liver-protective properties.
