So I was reading an article this morning that surprised me a bit. It claimed beet juice was a super food and a natural blood enhancer if you will. Apparently these guys are full of nitrates that are supposed to open or help open your blood vessels. Several diffident articles that did smaller studies show anywhere from 12-15% decrease in the amount of oxygen required before becoming exhausted.
I'm gonna try it, what can it hurt? It's all natural and 12-15% is a HUGE difference in my book!

Anybody ever use beet juice regularly?
