Cant BEET this!! ๐
๐
Did you know... Beets are a Superfood! A superfood is a nutrient-rich food that contains an above-average amount of vitamins and minerals per gram. Beets are dense with nutrients, including potassium, betaine, magnesium, folate, and Vitamin C and a good dose of nitrates. Studies that suggest they can also enhance athletic performance. Low in sugar, my NEW "Can't Beet This" formula supports oxygen levels and optimal nutrition to fuel workouts and keep endurance strong with a great tasting passionfruit and guava flavor.
๐ธ Helps lower blood pressure - Researchers found that people who drank 250 milliliters (or about 8.4 ounces) of beet juice daily lowered both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
๐ธ Improves exercise stamina - Drinking beet juice increases plasma nitrate levels and boosts physical performance.
๐ธ May improve muscle power in people with heart failure - Results of medical studies suggest further benefits of the nitrates in beet juice. The study showed that people with heart failure experienced a 13 percent increase in muscle power 2 hours after drinking beet juice.
๐ธ May slow the progression of dementia - nitrates may help increase blood flow to the brain in older people and help slow cognitive decline. After participants consumed a high-nitrate diet that included beet juice, their brain MRIs showed increased blood flow in the frontal lobes. The frontal lobes are associated with cognitive thinking and behavior.
๐ธ Helps you maintain a healthy weight - Straight beet juice is low in calories and has virtually no fat. Itโs a great option for your morning smoothie. Itโll give you a nutrient and energy boost as you start your day.
๐ธ May prevent cancer - Beets get their rich color from betalains, which are water-soluble antioxidants. According to a 2016 studyTrusted Source, betalains have chemo-preventive abilities against some cancer cell lines. Betalains are thought to be free radical scavengers that help find and destroy unstable cells in the body.
๐ธ Good source of potassium - Beets are a good source of potassium, a mineral and electrolyte that helps nerves and muscles function properly. Drinking beet juice in moderation can help keep your potassium levels optimal.
๐ธ Good source of other minerals - Besides potassium, beet juice provides: iron, magnesium manganese, sodium, zinc, copper and selenium.
๐ธ Good source of folate - Beet juice is a good source of folate. If youโre of childbearing age, adding folate to your diet can help you get the daily recommended amount of 600 micrograms.
๐ธ Supports your liver - The antioxidant betaine potentially helps prevent or reduce fatty deposits in the liver. Betaine may also help protect your liver from toxins. Fatty liver disease can be caused by the following factors: a poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, exposure to toxic substances, sedentary lifestyle.
๐ธ May reduce cholesterol - Researchers believe beetrootโs cholesterol-lowering potential is likely due to its phytonutrients, such as flavonoids. Studies have found that beetroot extract lowered total cholesterol and triglycerides and increased HDL, or โgood,โ cholesterol. It also reduced oxidative stress on the liver.
๐Beets also can make for colorful elimination.! Your urine and stools may turn red or pinkish after eating beets. This condition, known as beeturia, is harmless. However, it may be startling if you donโt expect it.
๐ซโ ๏ธ***If youโre prone to calcium oxalate kidney stones, donโt drink beet juice. Beets are high in oxalates, which are naturally occurring substances that form crystals in your urine.
