Some of the health benefits of beets may be due to the fact that they’re rich in dietary nitrates. Your body converts those nitrates into nitric oxide, a vital molecule that impacts many aspects of health, including helping blood vessels dilate for proper blood flow which may result in:
- Better brain function
- Lower blood pressure
- Improved exercise performance
The recipe:
Handful frozen berries
1 cup coconut/almond milk
1/4 banana
1 cup beetroot
Blend and enjoy with your family.
