Question

Ryan Murphy · Answer

So I think-- and this isn't non-obvious, but a food that I do think helps a lot-- and more so even at meats than training-- is beets or beet juice. So that's a good vasodilator, opens up the veins to help your blood flow a little bit easier. So beets is a good one.

So this is something that I kind of figured out my freshman year of Texas. I did it because all the older swimmers were doing it, and it's available to us at University of Texas in the locker room. But I noticed the pattern of when I was doing it and when I was having my really good practices, we were drinking beet juice, and specifically BeetElite. You just put in your water. Beets are a superfood. And so it improves the oxygen in your blood. And I just have noticed-- I don't really know all the science behind it, but I have noticed that it does help my training a lot.
