Art is another modern bridge to ancient wisdom
One of my favorite novels in my early 20s was Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. It is the colorful story of a king searching for immortality. On his quest, he finds out that out of all the sophisticated matters in life, beetroots are a prime ingredient of an immortality ritual.
Odd as it may sound, from a yogic filter, beetroots as super-earthy veggies are a go-to if you want to strengthen the manager of earth vibes in our energetic system, namely Muladhara chakra. Muladhara, the root chakra is the source of anti-aging and a priority in any yogic practice to increase vitality and stamina.
