(NaturalSociety.com) I’m always looking for ways to work smarter, not harder, and it looks like a morning beet-juice ritual is just what I’ve been seeking. A new study published in the journal Psychology & Behavior reveals how anyone can boost cognitive function after drinking just one glass of wonderful beet juice.

Beets work fast to create a smarter brain by boosting performance in just 90 minutes after drinking a 450 mL beetroot juice compared to a placebo. The dietary nitrates in beets work to open up oxygen flow to the brain, and therefore, cognitive functioning improves.
More specifically:
“Nitrate derived from vegetables is consumed as part of a normal diet and is reduced endogenously via nitrite to nitric oxide. It has been shown to improve endothelial function, reduce blood pressure and the oxygen cost of sub-maximal exercise, and increase regional perfusion in the brain. The current study assessed the effects of dietary nitrate on cognitive performance and prefrontal cortex cerebral blood-flow (CBF) parameters in healthy adults. In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-groups study, 40 healthy adults received either placebo or 450ml beetroot juice (~5.5mmol nitrate).
