High Blood Pressure? BEET IT!

Monday, May 3, 2010 by Jennifer C
High blood pressure is a serious problem for thousands of Americans.  Many people, including sufferers, don't know the list of effects that high blood pressure can have on the body.  High blood pressure is the leading cause of strokes, it can cause blood vessels in the eye to rupture causing blindness, and it also can lead to kidney failure!

Luckily, scientists have found a simple solution to combating and preventing high blood pressure: Beet Juice

Scientists have performed numerous studies and found that many patients saw their blood pressure decrease after consuming beet juice.

Here is how it works, according to the article:
Nitrate in the beet juice is converted by bacteria living on the tongue into the chemical nitrite. Once it enters the stomach, it becomes nitric oxide or re-enters the blood stream as nitrite. The researchers found that blood pressure was at its lowest when the nitrite levels in the blood were at their highest.

The recommended use is two glasses of juice a day for the effects to take place.  If you want to learn about beet juice benefits, check out the Biotta website
