Beetroot Boost Brain Health

Beets Boost Brain Health


 Astonishing, the health benefits of Beetroot.  I'll give this a try!

• Beets can improve athletic performance, help fight inflammation, lower blood pressure, help you detoxify, lower your risk for heart failure and stroke, help combat cancer and improve brain neuroplasticity
• Many of the benefits of beets are due to their high nitrate content. Your body transforms nitrates into nitic oxide, which enhances oxygenation and has a beneficial impact on your circulatory system
• Beets are very high in sugars, so if you’re insulin resistant, diabetic, or are in the initial stages of nutritional ketosis, fermented beets and beet juice may be preferable, as virtually all sugar is eliminated during fermentation

Beetroot - A Vegetable Full Of Goodness

The Benefits of Beetroot

 I was delighted when I saw this post as I know how beneficial Beetroot is to our health.  Alas, it is a bit like the British produced Yeast Extract Marmite, you either love it or hate it.  Nevertheless, its benefits are numerous for those who enjoy this winter vegetable as the article shows.

• Beets are a good source of naturally occurring nitrates, which are converted into nitric oxide (NO) in your body
• People with heart failure who consumed nitrates-rich beet juice had a 13 percent increase in muscle power
• Previous research showed people who drank beet juice prior to exercise were able to exercise for up to 16 percent longer
