Pump Up The Beet!

Boost Your Cardiovascular System
Physical endurance, whether it’s for a soccer game, long hike, triathlon or any other lengthy physical activity, relies heavily on the nutrients your body is receiving beforehand. Having the capacity to hike, bike, or run a little longer is largely based on how well your cardiovascular system is expending oxygen and circulating blood flow throughout your body. An individual who is having a hard time breathing or losing color while exercising is putting a lot of stress on their cardiovascular system. A strong cardiovascular system is more capable of transporting oxygen, circulating blood, and expending energy more efficiently; helping to support endurance and performance.
In order to maintain a strong cardiovascular system capable of boosting endurance and performance, your body requires the nutrients necessary to facilitate the pathways that are put to work during physical activity.
How Do Nitrates Work? When nitrate is consumed, bacteria and enzymes on the tongue convert nitrate to nitrite which is then converted to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide supports numerous systems and pathways in the body two very important pathways are the regulation of oxygen and transportation of blood flow throughout the body. Oxygen transportation and the circulation of blood are even more vital when the body is under physical stress. The cardiovascular system is working even harder during physical activity, but with proper levels of nitric oxide, oxygen is transported to the corresponding organs and blood flow is optimal; supporting peak cardiovascular capabilities.
