8. Beets
To check almost all important health benefits, eat more beets! In fact, both beets and beet greens are amazing for our health. However, when it comes to reducing blood pressure, beets are superheroes.
Due to the fact that they are rich in nitrates, consuming beets regularly translates to relaxed blood vessels and reduced blood pressure. Actually, they can also promote good levels of blood pressure, as some studies suggest.
In a 2-week study involving 24 individuals with high blood pressure, researchers discovered that those who consumed at least 250 grams of cooked beets per day, reduced their blood pressure more than those who didn’t.
Unfortunately, the positive effects of beets when it comes to blood pressure are brief. But, they do improve your numbers when consumed.
Other impressive benefits of beets:
- enhancing athletic performance
- improving digestive health
- aiding weight loss
- fighting inflammation
- reducing the risk of stroke
- supporting brain health
You can easily add some beets to your salad or steam them as a side dish.
