Beet Juice and Increased stamina

Just a few days ago, I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine who happens to be a college athlete.  He said that he has been having constant debates with his coaches over what liquids he should be taking in during the season.  Just water? Just Gatorade? Artificially flavored fruit juice? They couldn't land on what would be the best route to take.

It was during this conversation that I kindly stopped him and gave him one recommendation- Beet Juice.  Obviously, you should never cut water, or other nutrient and enzyme building liquids from your diet, but once I explained to him the benefits that beet juice has on the body, I could see the wheels turning.

I don't know if it was my telling him that beets have been proven to boost energy and help people have the stamina to exercise 16% longer...

...or if it was my telling him that it  increases the amount of nitric oxide in the body.  That, in turn, helps blood vessels relax, lowers blood pressure and has anti-inflammatory benefits as well...

...or if it was my explanation of the high levels of calcium that helps improve bone health...

but SOMETHING sparked something in him and he asked, "Where do I buy beet juice??"

I said that there is only one place around that sells 100% Organic Beet Juice, and that is Biotta!  Think you're sold on the idea? Check out the website and see where you can order some today!

We’ve talked many times about the amazing properties and health benefits of beet root juice.  Beet juice can help lower blood pressure, increase dietary nitrates and thereby increase stamina, aid in digestive problems, detoxify the body, build the immune system, strengthen bones, and help fight cancer by breaking up tumors.

Beet Juice Sensitivity
But, some articles have surfaced that warn about the dangers of drinking beet juice straight.  While most people do not have a problem drinking beet juice, in some people, drinking straight beet juice can cause giddiness, heartthrob, general weakness and vomiting.*

Drink Beet Juice in Combination
Beet Juice Can Increase Energy
Remember, for most people, drinking beet juice straight is not a problem.  In fact, recent research shows that drinking two glasses of beet juice daily gives you more energy.  The research showed how the nitrate contained in beetroot juice leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake, making exercise less tiring. The study revealed that drinking beet juice reduces oxygen uptake to an extent that cannot be achieved by any other known means, including training.***  The study, published Feb. 2008 in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, also showed that people who drank beet juice also had a lower resting blood pressure.

Beet juice is Biotta’s most favored juice by consumers, rich with natural minerals and vitamins.  In all likelihood, you won’t have any problem drinking Biotta Beet Juice straight.  If you do, try one of the juice combinations listed above.  Beet juice is refreshing, crisp, cool and a healthy addition to your diet.  Biotta’s Beet Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

Forty percent of our population will likely have to deal with cancer at some point.  That’s a lot of people.  Since tumors often grow more than 20 years without detection before they are diagnosed, eating and drinking foods that protect against this serious problem is an excellent idea.

Enter the lowly beet.  Beets are one of nature’s astounding wonders.  Recent studies have shown that beets increase stamina during exercise by 16 percent.*  Add that to all the other known health benefits of beet juice—including lowering blood pressure, increasing dietary nitrates, aiding in digestive problems, building the immune system and strengthening bones—and you have one powerhouse food.But did you know that beet juice has also been shown to break up cancers and tumors?  In the 1950s, Dr. Ferenczi of Hungary used beets exclusively to break up tumors in the body.**  Tumors were often eliminated, but he found that they returned if the patient stopped eating beets and drinking beet juice.  These findings confirmed that eating beets and drinking beet juice was not just a short-term fix, but rather a lifestyle solution. 

Cancer-fighting Betacyanin
Betacyanin is the ingredient that has been identified as the main tumor-fighting agent in beets.  Betacyanin gives beets its bright reddish purple color, and it also helps to detoxify the body, in general. 

Beets' potential effectiveness against colon cancer, in particular, has been demonstrated in several studies. In one study, animals with chemically induced colon cancer and high cholesterol were divided into two groups. “One group received a diet high in beet fiber while the other group served as a control. The beet fiber-fed animals rose to the challenge by increasing their activity of two antioxidant enzymes in the liver, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase. The liver is the body's primary detoxification organ where toxic substances are broken down and eliminated, a process that generates a lot of free radicals. Glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase are the bodyguards for liver cells, protecting them from free radical attack, so they can continue to protect us.”***
“In other animal studies, scientists have noted that animals fed beet fiber had an increase in their number of colonic CD8 cells, special immune cells responsible for detecting and eliminating abnormal cells. With the increased surveillance provided by these additional CD8 cells, the animals in one of the studies given beet fiber had fewer pre-cancerous changes.  In stomach cancer patients, when scientists compared the effects of fruit and vegetable juices on the formation of nitrosamines, ...beet juice was found to be a potent inhibitor of the cell mutations caused by these (cancer-causing) compounds.”***
Add beet juice to your diet and increase your body’s tumor-fighting capability.  Beet juice is Biotta’s most favored juice by consumers, rich with natural minerals and vitamins.  It’s a refreshing, crisp, cool and healthy addition to your diet.  Biotta’s Beet Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

What is nitric oxide, and how can it help lower your blood pressure?  The juice of dark leafy vegetables and dark red vegetables (such as beets) all produce nitric oxide.  These vegetables are high in nitrates, and dietary nitrates help to increase the amount of nitric oxide in the body.  When you drink beet juice, the nitrates are turned into nitrites and, in your stomach, nitrites turn into nitric oxide.  Why is nitric oxide important? 
Nitric oxide enters your bloodstream as nitrites and lowers blood pressure in as little as three hours by relaxing blood vessels.*  A scientific journal paper entitled “Acute blood pressure lowering, vasoprotective and anti-platelet properties of dietary nitrate via bioconversion to nitrite” was published in the February 2008 edition of Hypertension.*  It explained that, if your blood vessels cannot expand or contract to handle differences in blood flow, nitric oxide may be helpful.  And if you have thick blood that clots too easily, beet juice, in particular, may have anti-clotting properties. 

Drink Beet Juice to Lower Blood Pressure
The article stated that drinking two cups of beet juice daily may protect against endothelial dysfunction—that’s when blood vessels cannot expand and contract normally.  A study in Hypertension (online February 4, 2008) explained that two cups of beet juice can lower blood pressure by 10 points and last up to 24 hours, which is more effective than many prescription drugs.* 


Other Beet Juice Benefits
Beet Juice is Biotta’s most popular juice—and no wonder.  Our beet juice is 100% organic, made from the highest quality beet roots.  Biotta’s Beet Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. 

Beet juice, rich in minerals and vitamins, helps maintain cell functions and strengthens the body’s resistance to diseases.  Studies show beet juice may help boost your immune system.

A recent study published by Exeter University also concluded that drinking two glasses of beetroot juice per day can increase stamina up to 16%.**  Many other sources indicate that beet juice may be therapeutic for sexual weakness, kidney stones, gall bladder, kidney, liver and prostate troubles.***  Beet juice contains chlorine, a mineral that acts to regulate digestion by controlling the rhythmical contraction of the abdomen, *** and calcium, important to maintaining bone health.****
