This Vegetable Lowers High Blood Pressure By 10 Points

If we told you that one small vegetable could prevent over a million deaths a year in the US alone, you’d likely think we were off our rockers, right?

Well, the truth is this little root vegetable has the power to reduce blood pressure by almost 10 points within the first 15 minutes of drinking its fresh juice.

Study after study has extolled its virtues, and a new one from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia, has once again proven this vegetable’s effectiveness when it comes to lowering high blood pressure.

Yes, scientists have once again proven that beet juice is one powerful weapon when it comes to the war against high blood pressure.

They observed participants that either drank a mixture of beet juice (12oz) and apple juice (4oz) or drank a placebo. They found what dozens of other researchers have already shown us…so it came as no surprise that the beet juice group had significantly lower blood pressure after the 3-week study.

Beet juice is packed with antioxidants – more so than many other fruits or vegetables. But it can be really potent when taken alone, so it is almost always mixed with juice from other fresh produce, such as apples, blueberries, cucumber, and/or carrots.

If you have a juicer, wash these ingredients and run them through it in the morning, twice a week (a blender will work just as efficiently):

– 1 large red apple (any variety, but Red Delicious is great)
– 4 stalks celery
– ½ fresh beet, peeled
– 3 medium carrots
– 1 cup fresh spinach

The carrots and apple help to temper the bite of the beet juice without adding too many extra calories. The celery and spinach help temper the color (beet and carrot juice both stain and can deposit pigment in the skin – too much carrot juice will turn your palms orange and too much beet juice will flush your cheeks). Another healthy and sweet addition is half a cucumber.

When beet juice is consumed in moderation with other healthy vegetables, you are practically insulating your body from almost every disease.
