Beet juice boosts muscle power in heart patients
Scientists have evidence that Popeye was right: spinach
makes you stronger. But it's the high nitrate content in the leafy greens, not the iron, that creates the effect. Building on a growing body of work
that suggests dietary nitrate improves muscle performance in many elite
athletes, researchers found that drinking concentrated beet juice, also high
in nitrates, increases muscle power in patients with heart failure.
