The beetroot juice dilates blood vessels
Drinking beet juice is especially useful for older people, the researchers found.
I believe that you don’t have enough energy to lead a more active lifestyle? Then you will be useful beetroot juice — it dilates blood vessels and reduces the amount of oxygen needed by muscles during his work.
In a press release, published in the Journal of applied physiology,” the study’s author Katie Lansley said: “what we saw in this study, proves that beetroot juice can actually reduce the amount of oxygen that our body needs to perform physical activity”.
Analyzing the state of the elderly, scientists have noticed that after drinking juice they spend 12 percent less energy in exercise of low intensity.
This can improve their quality of life, allowing any age to perform tasks that previously people before him didn’t even dare to put, say the researchers.
With age, or getting into conditions that affects the cardiovascular system, the amount of oxygen entering the body, may fall sharply.
A team of specialists from the University of Exeter experimented with the composition of the juice: their patients, they offered normal beetroot juice or juice free of nitrates.
As a result, the Professor Andy Jones described the results of the study: “Every time we gave the patients normal juice, we saw a significant improvement in circulation, which was not observed in people who consumed filtered juice.”
