How much to eat depends on the frequency, intensity, and duration of your workout, among other factors. If you have an hour or less before your workout, a general guideline is to have about 1 gram of carbohydrate for every kilogram of your body weight (divide pounds by 2.2 to determine weight in kilograms). Some fuel is better than no fuel at all. Even if you only ate a banana, its carbs -- 30 grams -- will help.
Here are 9 reasons to add it in your daily diet. #1 Reduces skin inflammation- Beet juice is an excellent way to keep skin inflammation at bay. It helps in reducing swelling and redness caused due to acne and pimples. Consuming the juice on a regular basis keeps skin healthy and free from inflammations.
The results appear in Nutrition Journal. In the study, 15 men and 15 women drank either 17.6 ounces of a beet juice beverage consisting of about three-fourths beet juice and one-fourth apple juice, or a placebo juice. They were then monitored for 24 hours. The same procedure was repeated two weeks later, with those who drank the placebo on the first round receiving beetroot juice on the second. Among both men and women, the results showed a trend to lower systolic blood pressure six hours after drinking the beet juice. But when researchers limited their analysis to men only, they found a significant reduction of about 4.7 points among those who drank the beetroot juice.
