Drinking a glass of beet juice may have an immediate impact on lowering blood pressure, according to a new study.
The study shows that within hours of drinking it, beet juice
lowered systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure
reading) by an average of 4-5 points among a small group of healthy men.
Researchers say that drop may seem small, but on a public health
level a reduction like that would equate to a 10% reduction in deaths
due to heart disease.
“It’s promising that we can see an effect from a single dose,”
says researcher Leah Coles, PhD, a research fellow at the Baker IDI
Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia. “That effect might be even greater over the long term if they are drinking it day upon day.”
