Beet Root Powder and It’s Anti-Aging Effects.

1-It Supports Brain Health


It’s no secret that our brains start to deteriorate as we get older but have you ever wondered why? A decrease in blood circulation and oxygen play a major role in age related memory loss and degenerative diseases like Dimentia. Beets also contain a high concentration of nitrates which is then converted into nitric oxide, which may increase blood flow to the brain.


2- Supports Liver Health


Beets contain betalain which serves as a powerful tool to help your liver detoxify itself so it can perform more effectively.


I bet you didn’t know that the liver plays a huge role in your health and is responsible for 500 different functions in your body. Additionally, the betalain stimulates bile to the small intestines to keep your liver functioning at a optimum.

3- Weight Loss


If you are interested in shedding off a few extra pounds, beetroot is an excellent supplement to add to your smoothie. Beetroot decreases the risk of obesity. Beets are a nutrient dense food packed full of vitamins and minerals that are low in calories and fat. One teaspoon of beetroot powder is equivalent to eating one whole beet.

Once consumed nitric oxide opens up blood vessels allowing more oxygen to be delivered to working muscles so you can workout harder and longer which can contribute to weight loss.

4- Improves blood pressure


Research suggests that beetroots can help lower a person’s blood pressure. Researchers believe that this is due to high concentrations of nitrates which the body converts into nitric oxide. This compound dilates the blood vessels, which improves blood flow and lowers overall blood pressure.

There you go another powerful superfood to add to your smoothie to keep your body running like a fine tuned machine.
