Healthy Recipe #1 : Beet and Arugola Salad

This is a fantastic salad that is delicious and very good for you. 

> Remove the greens and broil your beets in the oven, larger beets take about an hour.

> Wash and cut arugola

> Once soft, take out beets and remove the skin (careful, they are probably very hot, let them cool down for a few minutes)

> Cut beets into bite size chunks

> Combine arugolan and beets in a bowl and dress salad with Balsamic Vinegar or very tiny amounts of Rice Vinegar and Sesame Seed Oil

> Serve!

Why beets? 

* One cup of beets had 58 calories.

* Beets are chock-full of two different antioxidants that help protect healthy cells against damage all over the body.

* The folic acid in beets also helps kids' cells growing and functioning the way they should.

* Beets are good for heart health and for keeping kids' blood pressure regulated, because they provide a nice amount of potassium.

Tip #1 - Eat!

This is very simple, your body needs regular meals in order to run at a regular metabolic rate. In fact, I recommend six small healthy meals per day for optimal metabolism performance. This may be a hard at first (and hard to believe!) but you WILL increase your metabolic rate. Of course, the meals have to be healthy and well planned.
