Today, I stumbled upon a very interesting study explaining another one of the ways that beet
juice benefits the body. Doctors have even more evidence in the powerful connection between beet juice and blood pressure. I have included excerpts from the article below:
"[The scientists] found that drinking 500 millilitres of the juice led to significant reductions in blood pressure within hours.
The effect was traced to nitrate in the vegetable which reacted with bacteria in the mouth. This led to chemical changes which resulted in blood vessels dilating to increase blood flow.
Fourteen healthy volunteers were recruited for the study and asked to drink either 500 millilitres of beetroot juice or the same quantity of water within 30 minutes. Volunteers who drank the juice started to show reductions in blood pressure after just one hour.
After two and a half hours, their systolic rate - the pressure with each heartbeat - was around 10 millimeters of mercury (mm of Hg) lower than that of participants who had drunk water.
For the diastolic reading - the "resting" pressure between heartbeats - a reduction of 8 mm Hg was seen in the juice drinkers after three hours."
