Organic Beetroot Juice Proven to be a Natural Performance Enhancer!
This is an amazing finding and should help many who are looking to improve their performance naturally. There is evidence found in research which was published in the Journal of Applied Physiology that shows that the nitrate in beetroot juice leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake, slowing the rate at which a person becomes exhausted. Drinking beetroot juice has shown to extend exercise time for at least 16 percent longer.
Researchers say that the reduction in oxygen use was greater than that achieved by using any other known means, including training. The findings could be valuable information to athletes, elderly people or those who have complications with cardiovascular, respiratory or metabolic diseases.
The research was conducted by a team at the University of Exeter, in England. The study was conducted with eight men from the ages of 19 to 38. Each were given 500 millilitres of organic beetroot juice a day for six consecutive days before completing a series of tests that involved cycling on a stationary bike. On other occasions they were given a placebo of black current cordial for six consecutive days before completing the same cycling tests.
The study found that after drinking organic beetroot juice, the group was able to cycle for an average of 11 minutes, 25 seconds. That is 92 seconds longer than when using the placebo. Another interesting finding was the group that consumed the organic beetroot juice also had a lower resting blood pressure.
