Beet Juice for Heart Health

RediBeets

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States. Nearly half of those men experience no warning symptoms before dying.

Risk factors for heart disease include obesity, poor diet, and high blood pressure.

According to a study conducted by Queen Mary University in London and published in the journal Hypertension, drinking one cup of beet juice may help lower blood pressure within twenty-four hours.

Beet juice contains naturally occurring vegetable nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signals blood vessels to relax and widen, which can help support healthy blood pressure levels.

To help support heart health, consider including more beet juice in your diet.

P.S. Beet juice may also help support endurance and stamina by increasing circulation and allowing the body to perform physical activity more efficiently.
