Beet Juice: A Natural Way to Lower Blood Pressure
The Power of Nitrates
A 2022 meta-analysis found that nitrate from beetroot juice can help lower blood pressure.
How Beetroot Juice Works
When consumed, the nitrates in beetroot juice are converted to nitric oxide, a compound that relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. This can lead to a temporary reduction in blood pressure.
Benefits of Beetroot Juice for Blood Pressure

- Lower systolic blood pressure (the top number)
- Lower diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number)
