DESCRIPTION: To understand how beets could reduce the oxygen cost of exercise while improving athletic performance, one must review the biochemistry of energy production (ATP synthase) and the body's conversion of nitrates to nitrites into nitric oxide. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/priming-the-proton-pump/ and I'll try to answer it! What sports physiology revolution am I talking about? See yesterday's video, Doping with beet juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doping-with-beet-juice/). Daily viewers of NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/) may recognize nitric oxide, featured a few weeks ago in The power of NO (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-power-of-no/). If bacteria on our tongue play a critical role in this process, what would happen to vegetable-enhanced athletic performance if we made the mistake of swishing with an antiseptic mouthwash? Find out in tomorrow's video, and in the meanwhile please feel free to check hundreds of my other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/). And happy Valentine's day everyone!
