Beetroot increases stamina and physical activity

A recent study confirmed that beet syrup can enhance endurance and increase energy in the body. Athletes is not only concerned with the results of this study, but the elderly can also take advantage of them.

The beet juice can increase the capacity for physical endurance. Where the scientists conclude that the body requires less oxygen of up to 12% after drinking half a liter of sugar beet, which means that the body does this to increase performance significantly. These results do not mean the athletes only as exhibited by a previous study, even when little physical activity can benefit from this positive impact. The study, published in the journal Science and Applied Physiology.

Which confirmed study author Dr. Katie Ansley from the University of Exeter that drinking this juice helps humans to do things they can not do normal conditions or requires of them more effort to perform this task.

The difference of scientific experiments conducted with the participants with little physical activity, were also measured performance and activity and oxygen consumption of the body. Some participants received the beet juice and the others received beet juice extracted from nitrates. The scientists found that the increased performance and endurance was only when the participants who drank non-filtered beet juice.

Nitrates in the beet, which preceded and proved in previous studies, it expands the arteries and reduce blood pressure, plays an essential and crucial in this positive impact, where you activate the mitochondria, which are the stations generate energy in the body.
