WANT A LONGER LASTING PUMP, and lower blood pressure? DO THIS.....
....EAT BEETS! 🏋️♀️
Beets are rich in dietary nitrates (NO3-). When consumed, these nitrates are converted into nitrites (NO2-) by bacteria in the mouth and then further reduced to nitric oxide (NO) in the body.
⛹️😃The vasodilatory effect of NO helps to widen blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. This can enhance physical performance and endurance, making beets popular among athletes.⛹️♂️Hence the enhanced 'pump' due to GREATER BLOOD FLOW.
💖Lower Blood Pressure: Regular consumption of beetroot juice or whole beets has been shown to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension, due to the blood vessel-relaxing properties of NO.
NO has many health benefits for the gastric and nervous systems. For those who enjoy heavy lifting, intense training cycles, Zumba, cycling, or other physical activities, NO is essential😉
I use BEETROOT POWDER in my protein smoothies and real BEETS in my salads or as a snack with sour cream (that is my jam). The impact on lowering blood pressure is significant! Research in the Journal of Endothelium and other cardiology peer-reviewed journals supports this
. 🤼♀️🤜NOTE: NO is also used for treating ED and other vascular dysfunctions to increase blood flow—fellas, you know what it is! I have recommended this to clients on low-dose blood pressure meds, with the assistance of their PCP, and they ultimately don’t need the meds any longer.
CAUTION: IF YOU ARE ON BP MEDICATION, STAY ON THEM!!!. Talk to your PCP first. High blood pressure can be reversed, barring any other underlying cardiac issues.
