You Can't Beat Beets!

Beets are exceptionally high in nitrates, which the body converts to nitric oxide. This compound helps relax and dilate blood vessels, leading to improved blood flow. This is why beet juice is popular among athletes for enhancing performance. Beyond athletic performance, this nitric oxide boost can also have positive effects on cognitive function, particularly in older adults, by increasing blood flow to the brain.
I love beets and we include them in our diet often, but I also love Shaklee’s new Electrolyte + Hydration & Focus Drink which provides 3 key electrolytes for hydration, as well as nitrate and beetroot to boost mental energy, sharpen focus and enhance mental clarity. Both flavors – Blood Orange and Raspberry Melon are absolutely delicious and refreshing!
