Just beet it

This bright red superfood activates the miracle molecule nitric oxide to boost blood flow throughout your body

MOST OF US VIEW beets as a gross and gritty ruby-fleshed veggie that tastes like dirt. But the modest, mostly forgotten beet is definitely one you want on your plate because it’s full of antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory benefits, enhances endurance, lowers high blood pressure, boosts cognition, and, key for building muscles and strong erections, increases blood flow throughout your veins.

Beets — and beetroot juice—are an excellent source of folate and manganese, and are a good source of potassium and copper. They also contain more nitrates than any other vegetable. Nitrates are converted to nitric oxide through a series of reactions, which expands blood vessels to accommodate greater blood flow. This increase in blood flow allows more oxygen and nutrients to be delivered around the body.
