Helps relieve fatigue

A study presented at the American Diabetics associations conference stated that beetroot helps boost a persons energy. They said that due to its nitrate content it helped dilate the arteries thereby helping in the proper transportation of oxygen to various parts of the body, increasing a persons energy. Another theory was that because the root is a rich source of iron, it helps in improving a persons stamina. Whatever the source, a pick me up at the end of a tiring day can be just what one needs.
