When people get older, cognitive and mental functions decline naturally. One of the main reasons may be a decrease in oxygen supply and blood flow to some brain areas. Nitrates in beet juice have been shown to dilate blood vessels and thus boost blood flow to the brain, which may slow down cognitive decline. More especially, beet juice would benefit the frontal lobe, which is related to high-level thinking, such as memory or decision making. Therefore, older people with mental issues, especially dementia, may benefit from adding beet juice to the diet. [6]
