Biotta - Purely Organic

Beets are amazing—the list of heart-healthy benefits keeps growing.  I read an article—actually  more like a Question and Answer column*—where someone had written in and asked if there were any natural ways to lower blood pressure.  This person was taking three drugs for hypertension and high cholesterol, and wanted to know if there were any healthy, organic products that could help lower her blood pressure and cholesterol.

The answer?  Beets. 

Beets are Heart-Healthy …
We’ve talked about the benefits of beets and beet juice many times because research and studies have proven them to be true.  According to this article, beets contain powerful compounds that “reduce blood pressure, promote bile flow, ease digestive disorders, improve heart disease, lower cholesterol and prevent cancer.*”

Another benefit of beets and beet juice is that it reduces the risk for blood clots.  According to the same article*, the anti-platelet action of beets reduces the risk for blood clots by dissolving inorganic calcium that can clog up the blood vessels.  In fact, “beets can lower total cholesterol and triglycerides by 30 percent and 40 percent.*”  And a 2008 study in Hypertension found that drinking two cups of beetroot juice reduced blood pressure by up to 10 points, with no major side effects.*

… and Cancer-Fighting!
And then there’s potential cancer-fighting benefits.  Beets contain a compound called betacyanin, which is a powerful cancer fighter, especially when it comes to colon cancer.  Beets may also “negate the effects of eating processed meats laden with dangerous nitrosamines, which may help reduce the potential for stomach cancer.*”
