"Broom" Salad for Weight Loss and Gut Cleansing
A natural, budget-friendly way to give your body a boost! Many people spend a fortune on various medications and supplements to cleanse the body and lose weight. But it turns out you can make a fresh vegetable salad at home that has a similar effect on the body, all from natural ingredients. This salad is known to many - especially fans of a healthy lifestyle and diets - as the "broom" or "brush" salad. People often use it for cleanse days, eating only this salad and lots of water for a day or more. But you should take your health and any conditions into account, and it's better to consult a doctor before starting such cleanses. People with gastrointestinal issues shouldn't eat this salad at all, since it's quite tough and coarse in texture and taste.
Cooking method

Step 1:
There are several recipes for "broom" salad with various add-ins, but the classic version includes only beets, carrots, white cabbage, and olive oil. Never add salt to the salad, or it won't have the cleansing effect. Some recipes add lemon juice, cucumbers, celery, herbs, apples and other fruit, or rolled oats, instead of or along with the olive oil.

Step 2:
Wash and peel the beets and grate them on a fine grater. It's better to grate all the vegetables on a fine grater so the salad is easier to chew.
-
Step 3:
Wash and peel the carrots and grate them too.
-
Step 4:
Remove the dirty outer leaves from the white cabbage and grate it too; if that seems hard, you can chop it very finely with a knife.
-
Step 5:
Put all the ingredients in a deep salad bowl and add a little olive oil. The salad doesn't need too much oil, which would raise the calorie count. Mix. It's better to let the salad sit in the fridge for a while - it'll be juicier and tastier.

- Why did this fresh vegetable salad get such a name? The "broom" salad owes its name to its cleansing effect on the body. Eating it regularly sweeps harmful contents out of the intestines: impacted waste, toxins, salts, bile, and other byproducts. Beets contain pectin, which absorbs radioactive elements, cholesterol, and other harmful substances. Carrots fill the body with carotene and normalize carbohydrate metabolism. Cabbage improves intestinal motility, lowers cholesterol, and reduces fat deposits. Olive oil cleanses the liver, intestines, and blood vessels, helps normalize bowel function, and relieves constipation.
