Boost your stamina with beetroot juice
A study
published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found beetroot
juice is abundant in nitrate, which widens blood vessels, optimising your
oxygen intake for extra energy. A test showed that drinking 400 ml of beetroot
juice gave cyclists almost a minute off their 10 mile cycle times. Not only
does it boost your stamina but it also lowers the blood pressure.
The
researchers believe their findings could help people with cardiovascular,
respiratory or metabolic diseases - and endurance athletes.
