Consuming a diet rich in green leafy vegetables is widely recognized as being cardio-protective . Recent evidence suggests that dietary nitrates found in these green leafy vegetables — and in beets — deliver cardiovascular and many other health benefits . † Dietary nitrates found in beets are metabolized into nitrites by oral bacteria which are subsequently converted to Nitric Oxide in the body . Nitric Oxide ( NO ) is a vasodilator which causes blood vessels to dilate improving blood flow and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells . Studies on athletes have shown that drinking beetroot juice can help improve exercise performance . † By age 40 , our production of NO can drop by half compared to our youth . Consuming adequate nitrate-rich vegetables can help the body to produce heart healthy NO .
