Are juices, besides being tasty and refreshing, very important in the routine of those who follow a healthy diet? whether with the goal of losing weight, maintaining weight or simply having a better quality of life.
After the success of green juices and other detox, a new type of drink has caught the attention, especially of those who practice physical activities: pink juice that, in addition to detoxifying, improves physical performance and facilitates the recovery of muscles.
Made from beets, the juice first gained fame in Europe, following the dissemination of research that proved its benefits, but today is already part of the menu of many Brazilians and is highly recommended by nutritionists.
"Pink juice is a drink that helps detoxify, nourish and acts on the distribution of nutrients in the body," explains sports nutritionist Vanessa Lobato.
The professional adds that the juice has as its main source nitrate. ? In the bloodstream, does it turn into nitric oxide that aids in blood perfusion? Does blood flow through blood vessels much more easily? he says.
It is also worth adding that, if not strained, the drink will offer a large amount of beet fiber, which help to provide satiety and help the proper functioning of the intestine, contributing to weight loss.
How to consume?
Vanessa Lobato explains that it is interesting to drink pink juice before and / or after sports. For aerobic activities, the recommendation is to take before; for strength activities such as weight training after exercise ?, he says.
Patricia Fernandes, 21, a student, says her nutritionist suggested she take the pink juice before the race. She indicated that I consume the drink up to two hours before physical activity. I thought it was great, because besides being tasty, I noticed the first day that the juice gave me more speed to run ?, reports.
Diana Menezes, 26, a lawyer, says she has also joined the juice. ? You were not in the habit of taking anything after training? running or weight training. But after reading about the benefits of pink juice, I was curious to try it. I started to consume, so after the exercises and really felt the difference, I think it makes me recover much better from physical activities. I found a great option, because it is also very tasty ?, says.
Revenue Variations
Pink juice usually combines beets with orange, but other ingredients can be added to make the drink even tastier and healthier.
Red fruits: Vanessa Lobato indicates including antioxidant-rich red fruits such as strawberries, goji berries, blueberries, grapes and blueberries.
But it is noteworthy that, as the base of the juice is nitrate, should not be added to the drink acid fruits such as lemon, orange, pineapple, among others. Otherwise there will be the conversion of nitrate to nitric acid before it is absorbed ?, explains the nutritionist.
Coconut water: she makes the juice sweeter and yummy.
Linseed: A good tip is to add a tablespoon of flaxseed to the juice, because it is a good source of omega 3 and fiber, which will further help in the feeling of satiety.
Ginger: A small slice of ginger from this root can be added to the juice to speed up metabolism.
