Beet's Efficacy Equivalent to Gym Exercise

Fit With Beet
YOU do not have to exercise to the gym and jogging in tens of kilometers to keep the body stay fit. According to researchers from the University of Exeter and the Peninsula Medical School, the key to improve stamina is quite simple, just a bit with a glass of fruit juice. 

Consumption of beet juice daily, according to researchers, can even help you exercise longer without feeling tired. In addition, a pint of beet juice a day effectively lowers blood pressure and improve health. 

Beet juice, the researchers explained, showing a surprising result because the benefits exceed the regular exercise routine under the supervision of professional trainers. And although it's probably not able to satisfy your appetite, its impact can be felt by everyone, from athletes to retirees who do not even have enough energy to walk to the supermarket.

Oxygen 

In this study, the researchers involved eight healthy young men to complete a series of cycling tests. They were asked to perform two cycling tests, after drinking beet juice once a day for 6 days and after drinking blackcurrant cordial (a drink made from a type of berry). 

The study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology reported, after drinking beet juice, participants use less oxygen when prompted cycling with slow speed. This shows, bright researchers, if their muscles can do work in the same amount using less energy. When asked to cycling with distance according to the capability, participants can pedal a few minutes longer than the time before drinking the beet juice. 

Nitrate effect 

After drinking the beet juice, added the researcher, participants experienced a 16% increase stamina. That is, they are usually out of energy after jogging for 1 hour to get an extra 10 minutes. In addition, they can achieve the same distance in a faster time.
