Cardio Health: Beet Juice

A University of Exeter study found that natural nitrates in beet juice helped reduce the body’s need for oxygen, making exercise after drinking beet juice less tiring and boosting your stamina throughout the day. Other research indicates that beet juice helps lower blood pressure within six hours after drinking it. It’s even better with carrot (for the vitamins), grape (which lowers cholesterol) and little bit of honey (just because).
