The benefits of beet juice are becoming more evident all the time. In addition to its value in strengthening the immune system, recent studies have shown that drinking just two cups of beet juice a day may reduce blood pressure (WebMD, Feb. 8, 2008).
Beets are loaded with nitrates, and recent studies have shown that nitrates play a big part in lowering blood pressure. A Feb. 4th online edition of the journal Hypertension included information about a study where 14 healthy volunteers drank two cups of beet juice or water. Those who drink beet juice experienced a drop in blood pressure one hour after drinking it, and the benefits continued for up to 24 hours.
