Halloween has come and gone, but all those tricks and treats are just getting settled into your body. Consuming excess alcohol, sweets and preservatives can cause the liver to be overworked. An overworked liver can lead to fatigue, inability to lose weight, migraine headaches, irritability, and allergies, among other imbalances.

Beets are also an excellent source of folates, which are necessary for DNA synthesis within cells, they treat liver Qi stagnation and contain betacyanin, a compound that improves cell respiration and is believed to stop or slow the growth of cancer.

Basic Roasted Beets Recipe:
INGREDIENTS -
3 medium beets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS -
Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Rinse the beets and trim off any leafy tops. Wrap completely in aluminum foil and place in the oven. Roast until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and let cool.

When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel using a paring knife or by pushing the skin with your fingers.
Slice the beets, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
