Want to increase Stamina?— Drink Beet Root Juice
Pounding on street for hours every day to gear yourself up for a marathon race? Stop a while. Have a glass of beet root juice. It is because it has been proved that drinking a glass of beet root juice increases stamina and allows you to do strenuous physical exercise for a longer period.
Research shows that the nitrate content in the beet root juice leads to reduction in oxygen uptake which slows the rate at which the person gets exhausted. Drinking juice regularly will help you to increase the stamina by 16 percent. Reduction in the usage of oxygen is more in those consuming beet roots when compared to all other sources. This revelation will be of great interest to elderly people, athletes, and people with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
But consuming beet root juice regularly is not free from side effects. It may lead to beeturia, a condition when urine turns pink or red due to the acidity level in the stomach. In a study conducted by the University of Exeter, it was concluded that the group which was given beet root juice was able to cycle for a n average of 11 minutes, 25 seconds which was 92 seconds linger than when using placebo. The researchers are not sure if the nitrate in the beetroot juice helps to boost the stamina. However they suspect that it might be due to the nitrate turning into nitric oxide in the body reducing the oxygen cost of exercise. It is also found that beet root juice reduces the blood pressure.
The latest research was conducted by University of Exeter and Peninsula Medical School and it was found that nitrate rich food could increase endurance. The effects of beet root juice on oxygen uptake was mind blowing as this could not be achieved by any other known means including training. So take in a glass of beetroot juice daily and increase your stamina.
Some other herbs which help you to increase your stamina are -
Ginseng - it is a popular healing herb. People take this herb to boost energy levels, improve memory, and lessen the effects of stress.
Ginkgo - Ginkgo Biloba has been used by Chinese for thousands of years to treat asthma and coughs. A latest study on this herb has revealed that it strengthens circulation and immunization of the body.

I’m 36 years old and I experience a terrible memory for numbers and names. I frankly imagine it’s worse than other people’s memories. Sometimes I imagine I’m losing quite a bit because of memory loss, but I don’t know what I’m missing because I can’t recall. Does anyone have any idea what could be inducing this?
Soak 5 almonds overnight and eat them in the empty stomach in the morning. It will help in improving your memory for numbers and names.
