News-trition #10: beets can help my workout?! 

Beet juice has become a popular pre-workout supplement due to its potential benefits for physical performance. Beet juice is high in nitrates, which the body converts to nitric oxide.

What is nitric oxide? It's a molecule that helps to widen blood vessels and improve blood flow. This can increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscles, which may improve exercise performance.

Research has shown that beet juice supplementation may improve endurance exercise performance by reducing the amount of oxygen needed to sustain a given level of effort. This can help athletes exercise for longer periods of time before becoming fatigued. Additionally, beet juice may help to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation after exercise, which can help athletes recover more quickly and perform better during subsequent workouts.

Overall, beet juice can be a beneficial supplement for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to improve their physical performance and recovery. However, as with any supplement, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before adding beet juice or any other supplement to your routine.

I swear by this SuperBeet Energy Plus - I have noticed it improves my energy AND, most importantly, endurance during a workout.

While I do love a loaded supplement, I also recommend consuming foods in their whole form as well to gobble up allllll possible nutrients - including fiber! Try steaming beets for a salad, or making the renowned beet dip!
