You’ve probably heard certain foods and drinks can boost athletic performance.<\/p>\n

Coffee, for example, makes you run faster<\/a>, and tart cherries reduce inflammation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Researchers are finding that what you eat can actually boost cardiovascular efficiency, hasten recovery time, and increase immunity against common exercise-induced illnesses.<\/p>\n

And the best part? Many of the best foods are vegan, cheap, and easily found at your local grocery store.<\/p>\n

As a cardiovascular nurse, health coach, and endurance athlete, I love digging through literature on health and nutrition, and research on three of these performance-enhancing foods recently caught my eye.<\/p>\n

So I teamed up with my podcast co-host, Jackson, to break down what you need to know to boost your performance with food.<\/p>\n

3 Foods to Boost Athletic Performance<\/h3>\n

Below are three performance-enhancing foods that when incorporated into your daily routine, can lead to stronger racing and faster recovery. And what runner doesn’t want that?<\/p>\n

Let’s start with one of my personal favorites:<\/p>\n

1. Beets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not to state the obvious, but oxygen is important during exercise. As we breathe, our blood carries the oxygen throughout our bodies to working muscles that helps us run<\/a>, ride<\/a>, or lift heavy things<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Limit the oxygen, and you limit your exercise performance.<\/p>\n

But reduce the physiological oxygen “cost” — or how quickly your body uses oxygen — by improving cardiovascular function, and you perform better with the same level of effort.<\/p>\n

So how can you reduce your oxygen cost?<\/p>\n

Studies show an inexpensive root vegetable — the one commonly credited with making your pee turn red — can help.<\/p>\n

Beets contain high levels of nitrates, which help dilate our arteries and improve overall cardiovascular function, thus allowing for more oxygen delivery to our cells.<\/p>\n

A recent study found that a group of cyclists regularly drinking beet juice could perform an exercise task with 19% less oxygen<\/a> as compared to the placebo group.<\/p>\n

How to Use It:<\/strong> Drink one to two glasses of raw beet juice 45 minutes to an hour before a workout. No juicer? We recommend Skoop’s Ignite Performance Beet Blend<\/a> for a powdered version, or adding three whole cooked beets — which will provide the same benefits — to a salad or stir fry.<\/p>\n

2. Nutritional Yeast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moderate exercise is known to strengthen immune function, even reducing sick days<\/a> by up to 25 to 50%.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, anyone who’s run a marathon<\/a> or ultra<\/a> will know that participation in sustained, high-intensity exercise can do the opposite. Instead of strengthening, the stress on your body can impair immune function and increase the rate of upper respiratory infections.<\/p>\n

When faced with a weakened immune system, you could just wolf down packets of Emergen-C and hope for the best, or you could turn to the cheesy-ish powder you’ve probably thrown on salads.<\/p>\n

According to a 2010 study<\/a>\u00a0published in the British Journal of Nutrition<\/em>, nutritional yeast<\/a> can protect against exercise induced dip in immunity.<\/p>\n

As expected, the study found that cyclists who endured a high-intensity bout of exercise showed a corresponding decrease in circulating white blood cells.<\/p>\n

But when the same athletes added just \u00be of a teaspoon of nutritional yeast per day to their diets and were tested again, they actually showed better immune function after the test than when they started.<\/p>\n

So does better immune function actually translate to less illness in athletes?<\/p>\n

You bet it does. A 2009 study published in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine<\/em> found that marathon runners who took roughly a spoonful of nutritional yeast per day were able to cut their rates of upper respiratory tract infections in half<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

And a nice little bonus: those same runners also reported feeling less confusion, fatigue, tension, and anger; and more vigor and energy.<\/p>\n

How to Use It:<\/strong> Add 3\/4 of a teaspoon of nutritional yeast per day to any food that would benefit from the addition of a savory, cheesy flavor: stir frys, salads<\/a>, grains, potatoes, pasta dishes<\/a>, and any other plant-based recipes<\/a> you want.<\/p>\n

3. Watermelon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exercise, especially at high intensities, causes acute muscle damage and inflammation. That’s what leaves your muscles sore and tired the next day.<\/p>\n

And while a certain degree of damage is essential for stimulating muscle growth, too much will impair the healing process.<\/p>\n

Enter natural antioxidants. Research has found that antioxidants — specifically those found in watermelon — are powerful anti-inflammatory agents for athletes, reducing free radical production in the body and improving the rate of recovery.<\/p>\n

A 2013 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry<\/em> found that a group of men who drank fresh watermelon juice<\/a> before hard physical activity were significantly less sore 24 hours later as compared to a placebo group.<\/p>\n

All from just two cups of the delicious, refreshing fruit.<\/p>\n

How to Use It:<\/strong> Drink one to two cups of watermelon juice before your run or add two slices of the fruit to your post run smoothie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Small Changes,\u00a0Big Impact<\/h3>\n

As athletes, we\u2019re constantly searching for the next great supplement or quick performance boost.<\/p>\n

But we\u2019re starting to uncover that many of the foods we all have access to \u2014 and in many cases, already eat \u2014 can have a massive impact on our athletic performance when used strategically.<\/p>\n

If any of the three foods above aren\u2019t part of your daily routine start adding them in one at a time, tracking any changes that take place.<\/p>\n

Over the course of a few months, you may find these simple plant-based foods become invaluable staples for optimizing you next training cycle.<\/p>\n
