Superfood - red beets

 

Red beets are easily digestible, low-calorie and do not cause 

allergies. They contain vitamins: C, A, E, K and minerals: calcium,

iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc and 

folic acid.

Pickled beets (kiszone) strengthen the blood and improve the composition of the intestinal flora, thanks to which the functioning of the digestive system and metabolism will be improved. They have bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. They have a positive effect on our nervous system and stimulate the development of gray cells. 

The easiest way to prepare pickled (kiszone) beets is with salt, garlic and water. 

-red beets 

 -2 tablespoons of salt per 1 liter of water 

 -3-4 cloves of garlic per one liter jar

 

Just peel the beets and cut them into strips or smaller pieces. Place in a sterilized jar, along with the peeled garlic cloves. I usually put 3-4 cloves into a one-liter jar. The more garlic, the harder the beets will be after pickling. Then add salt to the boiled and slightly warm water and stir until completely dissolved. I usually add 2 tablespoons of salt to 1 liter of water. Pour the beetroots in the jar so that they are all under water, leaving only a little air under the lid. Close the lid tightly. If there is too much water, the excess may escape from under the lid during pickling. I recommend keeping an eye on it and placing the jar on an easy-to-clean surface. 5-7 days of pickling (kiszenie) is enough. Beetroots taste slightly sour and do not need to be seasoned with anything. Pickled water is a great leaven for red borscht. Enjoy your meal

Beetroots contain vitamins: 

-C, A, E, K 

and minerals: 

-calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, 

zinc, folic acid 

- help deacidify the body

- regulate cholesterol levels

-reduce the risk of atherosclerosis

-prevent calcification of blood vessels.  

Pickled (kiszone) beets: 

-strengthen the blood 

- improve the composition of intestinal flora,

-improve the functioning of the digestive system and metabolism

-positively affect the nervous system

-stimulate the development of gray cells.

Salt lamp

 

If you've been wondering what a salt lamp does in a living room,

here's a simple answer. Thanks to its hygroscopic properties,

the salt lamp purifies the air. Under the influence of heat,

lumps of rock salt emit negative ions from their surface,

which bind positive particles from the air. This contributes

to maintaining the balance of molecules. Salt also contains

minerals lithium, halite and selenite, which are released when

exposed to heat. This has a beneficial effect on the 

respiratory system. The emission of negative ions by the salt

lamp improves mood and concentration, makes it easier to fall

asleep and reduces the negative impact of electromagnetic 

radiation from electrical appliances, computers or televisions

on our health. That is why you feel relaxed in the salon and

you breathe much better. Many people with problems and sinuses

ask for tissues because the salt lamp very quickly cleans and

clears the respiratory tract.

Salt lamps emit tiny particles with an electrical charge 

- negative ions. Large amounts of positive ions cause 

electromagnetic (EM) radiation, which adversely affects health. 

Fatigue, weakening of the immune system and stress are symptoms

of long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation on the body.

Thanks to the emission of negative ions, the salt lamp 

partially neutralizes the effect of this radiation.

The hygroscopic properties of rock salt purify the air, which

is especially helpful for allergy sufferers. Salt crystals 

attract water molecules from the environment, which is called

the hygroscopic effect. Water molecules contain: dust, mold, 

microbes or animal hair particles that can cause allergies. 

Water molecules absorbed by the lamp are filtered by a crystal, 

and then the already purified water evaporates thanks to the 

heat generated by the bulb in the lamp.

Salt lamps are especially recommended for people suffering from

allergies, because, firstly, they contain valuable minerals, 

and secondly, the chemical composition of rock salt naturally 

cleans the air of dust, fungus particles and mold. Salt lamps 

are natural air ionizers. The production of negative ions 

increases the amount of oxygen in the air. Thanks to this, 

it is easier for us to fall asleep in the evening, and our 

concentration is at a high level during the day - which 

supports the efficiency of work and study. 

If you want to try the beneficial effects of salt, I recommend 

creating your own unique lamp. 2 glass vessels of different 

sizes (e.g. jars or glasses), a candle and Himalayan salt in 

lumps are enough. Put the smaller ones into the larger dish and 

fill the spaces between their walls with salt. Place a candle 

or tealight inside the smaller dish. The fire of the lighted 

candle will heat the salt between the walls of your lamp and 

the magic will begin to work.

The action of negative ions is conducive to the fight against 

insomnia, so it is worth setting up a salt lamp in the bedroom. 

Due to its relaxing effect, it is also ideal for the living 

room, where we relax. As a neutralizer of electromagnetic 

radiation, it will be irreplaceable in the study and office.
