Beetroot juice, taken by athletes, increases their performance by 16%. The drink improves the quality of life in people with heart problems and white goods. Thanks to the juice, the body uses less oxygen when moving and effectively reduces the effort of exercise by 12%.
With age, the amount of oxygen that our body uses during physical activity decreases significantly, which is why even a light load such as walking in the elderly is associated with fatigue and more time to perform.
According to scientists, beet juice is the most suitable drink to improve the physical capabilities of the body at any age.
There are two main actions. First, it dilates blood vessels, lowers blood pressure and improves blood circulation. In addition, the juice affects the muscle tissue, reducing the oxygen content needed by the muscles to function. The overall impact reflects on the performance of physical actions, regardless of their intensity.
To have an effect it is necessary to drink at least 2 glasses of juice a day.
The substances contained in beets have a cleansing effect on the body, due to which its consumption can cause mild dizziness and nausea. To avoid unpleasant side effects, it is enough to add carrot or cucumber juice to the red liquid.
Consumption of beet juice should be limited in people with kidney stones and metabolic disorders.
