If you want to support your brain, you can’t beat the benefits of beets. These root vegetables are rich in nitrates, which can help open blood vessels. That can be especially good for your brain as you age.
Drinking beet juice has actually been shown to increase blood flow to the brain in older adults, according to a January 2011 study in Nitric Oxide: Biology and Chemistry.
That’s important because when areas in the brain don’t receive enough blood flow, they can become damaged, which then leads to cognitive decline.
