Flying up to the mountains? Here’s a drink to help you acclimate to the altitude…
Beet juice can help you adjust to rapid altitude change—just drink an eight-ounce glass before you board your plane. It worked for high-altitude trekkers in Kathmandu. Beet juice’s nitrates get converted quickly to nitric oxide, which improves the ability of blood vessels to get oxygen throughout the body.
