Beetroot juice is useful for heart patients, research

Drinking a glass of beetroot juice daily helps reduce the harmful inflammation in people with coronary heart disease.

Cardiovascular disease is the most common type of heart disease and is considered to be the leading cause of death worldwide.

Nitric oxide is important for good health as it plays a role in controlling blood pressure.

People with this disease have lower levels of nitric acid in their body.

Nitric oxide is important for good health as it plays a role in controlling blood pressure.

Research from Queen Mary University has shown that edema is important for protecting the body from any injury or disease, but in people with coronary heart disease, the edema persists, affecting more arteries. And increases the risk of heart attack.

Researchers say that research indicates that drinking a glass of beetroot juice daily provides nitric oxide to the body which reduces inflammation.

Beetroot contains a lot of nitrate which is converted into nitric acid in the body.

The study included 114 healthy people, 78 of whom were given a typhoid vaccine, which temporarily caused a swelling in the arteries, while another 36 developed a skin swelling with a cream.

These individuals were then given 140 ml of beetroot juice every morning for 7 days, but 50% of the volunteers had high levels of nitrate in their beverages, while nitrate was excluded from the remaining 50%.

The results showed that people who drank nitrate-rich beverages had significantly higher levels of nitric oxide in their blood compared to other groups.

Nitrate juice also increased the number of cells helping to regulate the functioning of the coronary arteries.

The researchers said that the results indicate that this juice may be beneficial for millions of people suffering from coronary heart disease.

Experts are now planning a clinical trial on a diet high in nitrates to confirm current findings.
