7. Beetroot

Beetroot is high in fiber, iron, potassium, manganese, and vitamins B9 and C. Sometimes used as a performance enhancer, beetroot contains high levels of nitrates that boost blood flow and increase the delivery of nutrients and oxygen during exercise. Beetroot has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is especially beneficial for heart health as it can lower blood pressure.
