What does a regenerative medicine specialist drink before he trains? Xavi Batalla says his answer rarely changes. Every morning, he combines beet, carrot, orange, lemon, ginger, and turmeric in a bright homemade drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regenerative medicine<\/a> generally refers to approaches that restore, replace, or recreate damaged cells, tissues, or organs. Batalla\u2019s recipe, though, was presented as a personal habit, not a regenerative therapy or an anti-aging cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its value comes from ordinary nutrition and a repeatable routine, with fiber<\/a> making an important difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His six-ingredient ritual<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Batalla described the routine during an appearance on Focus ON Podcast, hosted by Joan L\u00f3pez and Xavi Llops. \u201cEvery morning I get up and make the same juice. I go train and start the day,\u201d he said. He then listed the ingredients as \u201cbeet, carrot, orange, lemon, ginger, and turmeric.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preparation is not exactly identical every day. Sometimes he blends the ingredients and keeps the pulp, while on other mornings he makes a more filtered juice<\/a> because he enjoys the texture. Either way, he says the ritual happens \u201cevery morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why beet gets attention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beets are naturally rich in dietary nitrates. After several steps inside the body, those nitrates can contribute to the production of nitric oxide, a signaling molecule that helps blood vessels relax and supports blood flow. That is why beet juice often appears in pre-workout drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the evidence is not a blank check. A 2022 meta-analysis found the clearest performance gains in efforts lasting roughly two to 10 minutes, while a separate review<\/a> of high-intensity interval studies found no meaningful improvement in peak or average power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regenerative medicine specialist Xavi Batalla shares his morning routine of drinking a six-ingredient antioxidant juice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Batalla did not provide exact ingredient amounts, so his homemade drink cannot be treated as the equivalent of a standardized sports supplement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrots and citrus add nutrients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carrots are well-known for beta-carotene, the orange plant pigment that the body can convert into vitamin A. This vitamin supports normal vision, immune function, reproduction, and healthy growth. Carrots also contribute fiber when the whole vegetable remains in the drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oranges and lemons supply vitamin C, which the body uses to make collagen, support immune function, and improve the absorption of iron from plant foods. They also contribute naturally occurring sugar<\/a>. That does not make the drink unhealthy, but it does mean the finished glass is not sugar-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginger and turmeric need context<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ginger contains several bioactive compounds and has been widely studied, especially for nausea and vomiting. Yet a small amount in a morning drink should not be presented as a treatment for digestive disease or inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginger can also cause heartburn, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort in some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turmeric<\/a> contains curcumin, a compound that has shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says there is not enough evidence to draw firm conclusions about oral turmeric for most health conditions. A kitchen spice and a concentrated supplement are not the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
