The American Holistic Health Association (AHHA) offers a free monthly Special Updates email report that includes a Featured Research item. The goal is to present research that may be relevant as you (and your healthcare support team) consider health-enhancing lifestyle and treatment options. Through the years AHHA has used a number of sources that generously provided us appropriate research to be included in the eReports. These sources were selected because of their known high standards for evaluating research.
High Blood Pressure - Beetroot Juice
Are you dealing with hypertension? A study suggests that drinking beetroot juice can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. It appears that besides being a source of vitamins A and C and iron, beetroot is also a rich source of nitrates that affect blood vessels. You and your physician can check out the details of this study referenced in the article: “Beetroot Juice Lowers Blood Pressure” from the January 2015 issue of Natural Standard’s Integrative Medicine Newsletter.
