Natural foods like beets can be as effective as drugs in treating high blood pressure. According to Lifehacks, beets contain 20 times more nitrate than other vegetables and are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. When beet juice enters the body, nitrate is converted into nitric oxide, which dilates and reduces pressure on the blood vessel walls. A study published in Nutrition Journal showed that patients with high blood pressure all reduced their blood pressure when drinking beet juice regularly.

Thanks to the nitrate content, drinking beetroot juice daily also helps increase the body's endurance, improve sports performance, support the cardiovascular system and reduce the risk of diseases such as memory loss, Alzheimer's, and heart attack.

To get the most out of beetroot, drink 1-2 glasses of pure juice every day. If you are taking blood pressure medication, do not stop taking it or change the dosage without consulting your doctor. Also, do not worry if your stools are red because beetroot is rich in carotene.
