Beets and beet juice are high in nitrates, substances that turn into nitric oxide inside your body. Your body naturally produces nitric oxide, which is crucial for blood vessel health. Nitric oxide relaxes and widens your arteries, allowing more blood to flow through and significantly lowering blood pressure.
(Beet juice lowers systolic pressure by 5 points in less than 3 hours.)
Researchers have also concluded that one glass of beetroot juice a day is enough to significantly reduce blood pressure in people with high blood pressure.
It increases oxygen uptake, lengthening the time it takes to become fatigued, which allows people to stay active longer.
Eat heart-healthy foods. That means a diet high in whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and lean protein, and low in sodium and alcohol.
And of course start moving!
Exercise to get your cardiovascular function up and running as being active helps keep weight in check and reduces your odds of many different heart problems.
