This drink significantly reduces blood pressure

The nitrates contained in beet juice, lowering blood pressure, say U.S. researchers.

Scientists conducted a study in which participants were given beetroot juice and nitrate pills, and watched them within 24 hours.

It turned out that nitrates reduced the pressure, especially in people with high blood pressure. Has previously been shown that beet juice lowers blood pressure, but in the new study happened to find out the causes of such effects. The problem is very urgent, as many vegetables contain nitrates.

According to experts, people with high blood pressure can control their problem with diet, specifically by drinking beet juice with nitrates. When you eat beets, the inorganic nitrate content in sugar beets alters nitric oxide in the blood.

This gas allows you to expand the blood vessels and reduce blood pressure.
