10 -16 November 2025: Magical Beetroot
This week in Thrive Again, weâre bringing attention to beetroot â one of those foods that is often overlooked but can be incredibly supportive when included regularly. In many parts of the world, beetroot is actually a very normal, everyday food. Across Eastern Europe itâs used in soups like borscht, in Mediterranean regions itâs often served roasted with olive oil, and in other cultures itâs added to salads, juices, or simple cooked dishes. Itâs interesting how some foods that are common elsewhere havenât quite become part of everyday eating here in Australia yet â and beetroot is one of them. I personally believe itâs worth bringing more of it into our meals because it offers such a wide range of health benefits. Beetroot naturally contains compounds that help improve circulation, support heart health, and enhance oxygen delivery around the body, which can influence energy levels, stamina, and even mental clarity. Itâs also rich in antioxidants that help calm inflammation and support the bodyâs natural detox processes. Many people notice it can be especially supportive when energy feels low, when circulation isnât optimal, or when the body is under more physical or inflammatory stress. Even adding it a few times during the week can make a difference over time. If beetroot isnât something you usually eat, this could be a nice opportunity to experiment with it a little â sometimes these simple additions end up becoming really enjoyable once you find a way of preparing them that you like. đ For Premium Members Inside this weekâs content: ⢠Video "Beetroot - For Heart, Energy and More" â how to use raw, cooked, or powdered beetroot. ⢠Handout (PDF) â a deeper overview of beetrootâs key benefits. ⢠Meal Plan â different ways to include beetroot during the week so you can follow it fully or simply pick the meals that suit you..
