Can a daily beetroot shot keep your brain young?
NCT ID NCT03617302
Summary
This small, early-stage study tested whether drinking beetroot juice could improve blood flow to the brain and reduce artery stiffness in adults aged 50-79. Sixteen participants were randomly assigned to drink either regular beetroot juice or a version with the key ingredient removed. The goal was to see if the natural nitrates in beets could help counteract age-related changes in blood vessels that are linked to cognitive decline.
