Scientists: A glass of beetroot juice in the morning improves health

How would you like to start your day with a nutrient-packed juice that improves your health and well-being? A glass of deep red juice can give you an energy boost and be a simple yet powerful morning routine.

Its ingredients support the heart and blood circulation, while also contributing to the natural regulation of blood pressure. And yes… beetroot juice offers all of this!

Scientists point out that daily consumption of beetroot juice can lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The reason? Beets contain inorganic nitrates that are converted into nitric oxide in the body, which dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.

A study recently published in Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases reports that 200-800 mg of nitrates per day from beetroot juice can significantly lower blood pressure.

Experts explain that beets also help improve the elasticity of arteries, while the potassium they contain helps balance the effect of sodium and relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels./CNA
