“Super food” lists don’t include beet root juice, but they should.

Beet juice may boost stamina to help you exercise for longer, it improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure.

Beet root is rich in natural chemicals called nitrates. Through a chain reaction, your body changes nitrates into nitric oxide, which helps with blood-flow and blood pressure.

In some studies, drinking about 2 cups of beet juice daily or taking nitrate capsules lowered blood pressure in healthy adults.

Beet juice may also help your stamina when you exercise. In one study, people who drank beet juice for 6 days had better stamina during intense exercise.

Beet Juice Nutrition

One cup of raw beets has 58 calories and 13 grams of carbohydrates.

A cup of beet juice is usually around 100 calories and 25 grams of carbohydrates, because of the way it is processed.

Beets are good sources of folate, potassium, vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, as well as nitrates.

Other good food sources of nitrates include spinach, radishes, lettuce, celery, and Chinese cabbage.

Eating cooked beets won’t give you the same quantity of nitrates, because cooking hampers some of the nitrates, but is still good for your health.

If you start drinking beet juice, you should know that it may make your urine and stools look reddish.
