Nitrate-rich foods have been shown to increase athletic performance by increasing oxygen delivery and usage throughout the body. Studies have shown that simple nitrate-rich vegetables even improve performance in people with emphysema, a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Dietary supplementation with nitrates not only improved exercise performance, but also reduced blood pressure. One cup of beet juice a day significantly lowered blood pressure in even the elderly.

The one catch is the needed to continue to drink the beat juice to keep their blood pressure lowered. Consuming nitrate-rich vegetables even increased performance in people atherosclerosis in the lower extremities who had difficulty just walking around were able to walk eighteen percent longer.

This is just another reason to adopt a whole food plant-based diet.
