Dietary
Beetroot Juice (Dietary Nitrates)
for High Blood Pressure
Regular consumption of beetroot juice or nitrate-rich vegetables (spinach, rocket) to lower blood pressure through the dietary nitrate-nitric oxide pathway.
How it works
Dietary nitrates are converted to nitrite then to nitric oxide (NO) in the blood. NO is a potent vasodilator, relaxing arterial smooth muscle and reducing peripheral resistance.
What to watch for
Avoid with PDE-5 inhibitors (e.g. Viagra) — risk of severe hypotension. Effects require regular intake to be maintained.
