Organic Juice Experts

Everywhere I've been turning lately I seem to be finding more and more evidence of the power behind eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.  Researchers at Queen Mary University of London recently published results claiming that drinking a couple glasses of beet juice can help to lower a person's blood pressure.

Here is an excerpt from an article published on BabyBoomerAdvisorClub.com that describes how beet juice helps to lower blood pressure:

"Mayo Clinic explains how nitrate works in the beet juice. It is converted by bacteria living on the tongue into the chemical nitrite. Once it enters the stomach, it becomes nitric oxide or in other words, it re-enters the blood stream as nitrite.

The researchers in the new study, have found that blood pressure was at its lowest when the nitrite levels in the blood were at their highest.

The nitrites then work by protecting against endothelial dysfunction, which means that blood vessels have trouble expanding or contracting to handle changes in blood flow. They also have anti-platelet properties."

The article also has advice for those who find the taste of beet juice to be a little strong- mix it with a tall glass of organic carrot juice!
