Want to boost your energy? A recent study showed that beet juice can do it! An August 2009 published study by Exeter University* concluded that drinking two glasses of beetroot juice per day can help people exercise for up to 16% longer.**
The nitrates in beets reduce the oxygen demand when exercising. The double-blind study focused on men ages 19-38. They were given 500 ml of organic beetroot juice for six consecutive days before completing a series of exercise tests. The men who drank the beetroot juice were able to cycle longer than the men given the placebo – blackcurrant cordial. The group drinking the beetroot juice also had lower resting blood pressure rates.**
Fox News recently did a segment on healthy eating that featured this study and the effects of drinking beetroot juice daily. News contributor Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld spoke directly about this study and the benefits of this amazing juice. Check it out at:

The benefits of beetroot juice are especially important to athletes and the elderly—people needing more energy.
How Does It Work?
The study didn’t determine exactly how the nitrates in beetroot juice boost stamina. It is possible that the nitrate turns into nitric oxide in the body, and that reduces the oxygen burned up in exercise.
Professor Andrew Jones, one of the study’s researchers, believes that athletes will be particularly interested in these results since these effects cannot be obtained in any other known way.** In addition, he is anxious to explore the ways in which these findings can help people who are not fit. People who are not fit, says Jones, “may be able to use dietary supplements to help them go about their daily lives.”**
