Beetroot Juice Increases Stamina
If you want a clean, healthy, legal boost, and to improve your athletic performance, then the answer is a beetroot smoothie!
“Drinking beetroot juice boosts stamina and could help people exercise for up to 16% longer, a UK study suggests.
A University of Exeter team found nitrate contained in the vegetable leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake – making exercise less tiring.
The small Journal of Applied Physiology study suggests the effect is greater than that which can be achieved by regular training. Beetroot juice has previously been shown to reduce blood pressure.” Source: BBC Health News
