Is Beet Juice the Elixer of Youth?



Yes, it is.

Beetroot juice widens blood vessels and reduces the amount of oxygen needed by muscles during activity.

As people age, or if they develop conditions that affect the cardiovascular system, the amount of oxygen taken in during exercise can drop dramatically.

Writing in the Journal of Applied Physiology, Katie Lansley said: 'What we’ve seen in this study is that beetroot juice can actually reduce the amount of oxygen you need to perform even low-intensity exercise.’

Note the post below. There was a pronounced improvement in my cardiac workout immediately after my first sips of beet juice.
