Beet High Blood Pressure Fast!

A cup of beetroot juice helped people lower their high
blood pressure by 11 points within 6 hours, found a new
study. The reason it works so fast: Beets contain dietary
nitrate, which your body converts to a gas that expands
blood vessels and aids blood flow. This simple smoothie
from Dana White, RD, contains a heart-healthy trifecta
of nitrate, magnesium, and potassium.
