Energy Boost Juice This Juice recipe is perfect before exercise or if your just looking for a boost! Studies have shown that freshly extracted beetroot juice has an incredible effect on the body. Beetroot juice has become like a secret-weapon among athletes seeking natural performance enhancement. In a University study conducted at Exeter, nine club-level cyclists finished three percent faster in 2.5- and 10-mile trials when they imbibed a half-liter (about four eight-ounce glasses) of beetroot juice pre-race compared to when they rode beetless. The juice contained about three to five beets and was taken three hours before the trial, said study author Professor Andrew Jones, PhD, Head of Sport and Health Science at University of Exeter. Drinking the beetroot juice led to higher power output for the same level of effort exerted, found researchers, suggesting the juice led to more efficient muscle and cardio performance. Ingredients: serves 2 1 Large raw beetroot with leaves (if possible) 6 medium carrots 1 large green apple (french golden delicious) 1 inch piece of root ginger. *Drink within 30 minutes of juicing for maximum benefits |
