Heard about this: http://ihealthbulletin.com/blog/2009/08/10/beet-juice-increases-stamina-exercise / on Fox News this morning. Anybody tried it?

Helps you exercise longer? Dang, I already do 300k rides. I'm not sure I want to exercise any longer than that.
 
That's an interesting study, though. Their results suggest that nitrate rich food like beet juice can lower the amount of oxygen needed during exercise. That might be a big help to a lung-challenged old f*rt like myself.

Yeah, you would have more energy while you were in recovery mode. Also, might make the beet juice taste better.  Smiley

Well I like beet juice I just don't know where I would get any. I don't see beet juice at my local Tom Thumb.

My wife is Russian and she's always pushing me to eat beets!  I tried to juice them once and let me tell ya, it takes a LOT to cover up the taste of a beet! Not to mention having to clean up the very strong dye you make in the process.  Having said that, Montel says an orange in his 'emulsifier' will cover up anything. Tongue And if you can't believe an infomercial, then what's the world coming to? Smiley
