Lowers Blood Pressure
Another fantastic benefit of beetroot is that it also reduces blood pressure which occurs as a result of the force of the blood against the artery walls being too high. Some studies have shown that beet and high blood pressure have something in common. Beet is highly concentrated in nitrate more than every other vegetable. This nitrate helps the body to produce more Nitric Oxide (NO) and enlarges the artery to reduce blood pressure. Beet works amazingly and lowers blood pressure effectively even more than some antihypertensive drugs. A study carried out on participants who had high blood pressure, confirmed that within 3 to 6 hours of consuming beet juice, participants’ blood pressure was decreased by 10 millimeters of mercury.
