But how about adding a little more variety to your plan?<\/h5>\n<h5>Roots like carrots, sweet potatoes, and turnips, are a rich source of nutritious complex carbohydrates. Instead of upsetting blood sugar levels like refined sweet foods do, they help regulate them. Therefore, adding more of these sweet root vegetables into your diet helps you curb your cravings for sweets. It can&#8217;t get any sweeter than that!<\/h5>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ba0155;\">Why Eat More Root Veggies?<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>Long roots \u2013 carrots, parsnips, burdock, and daikon radish \u2013 are excellent blood purifiers and can help improve circulation in the body.<\/h5>\n<h5>Round roots \u2013 turnips, radishes, beets, and rutabagas \u2013 nourish the stomach, spleen, pancreas, and reproductive organs.<\/h5>\n<h5>Also, in Ayurvedic medicine, which I&#8217;m a big fan of, it&#8217;s believed that eating root vegetables helps with making you feel grounded. So, when you feel unsettled and too dreamy (not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with dreaming), try adding\u00a0some more root vegetables into your diet. It&#8217;s amazing how your interior balance, that harmony between yin and yang, could actually be achieved through food and self care.<\/h5>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ba0155;\">Which root vegetables do you eat most?<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>If you\u2019re like most of the world, it\u2019s carrots and potatoes. Here are a few others to explore:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>Beets contain an abundance of antioxidants and are highly detoxifying.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Burdock is considered a powerful blood purifier. This long, thin veggie is a staple in Asian and health food stores.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Celeriac, also known as celery root, is rich in fiber and with a respectable amount of antioxidants.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Jicama is crunchy and refreshing and contains a generous amount of vitamin C. It\u2019s a favorite in its native Mexico and South America.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Onions are rich in antioxidants and other phytonutrients, making them prized for their ability to strengthen the immune system.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Parsnips, which look like giant white carrots, boast a sweet, earthy taste. They\u2019ve also got plenty of fiber, vitamin C, folic acid, niacin, thiamine, magnesium, and potassium.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Radish is an excellent source of vitamin C. It\u2019s also rich in calcium, molybdenum, and folic acid.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Sweet Potatoes contain unsurpassed levels of beta-carotene and are also rich in vitamin C, phytonutrients, and fiber.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Excited to add more roots to your diet?
