What to have Before exercise

Before my run today I am having Beet root salad with Fennel and Lime.

Why?

Beet root reduces the amount of Oxygen the body requires for exercise by around 20 to 30%!!
Which means that you feel less exhausted during your exercise. That followed by Green tea which raises the Metabolic rate means that you burn more fat and feel less tired..

The perfect combination every time.

Other benefits of Beet root are that it is rich in Vitamin's  A,C, B6, Calcium, Iron Folic Acid and Fiber.
Beet root is rich in Betacyamin which gives it the rich Purple colour. It is a very powerful Cancer fighting agent and known to protect against Colon Cancer and Liver disorder.

Use beet root on its own, in salads or juice it with lime and mint.
I have created a range of cocktail juice for before and after exercise for Red Dragon Gym.
