Beets and Blood Pressure

I like the pickled ones. I always have a jar in my fridge.

It would be useful if you could give updates. This is a problem which many of us have and if it can be controlled with food rather than drugs, so much the better.

Hibiscus tea is also said to lower blood pressure.

All supplements are unproven and they include the word "may" in their claims of effectiveness.

The difference between those who purchase supplements vs those who do not, is that those who do not buy them, die with those dollars still available for real necessities in life.

All supplements may be unproven.

I don know, but fresh cooked beats with a little butter may be more tolerable. They are also loaded with fiber which helps a lot of systems in the body.

That's what I've been thinking: that many of these supplements have the fiber removed.

I love beets. I put them in salads, eat beets with cottage cheese for lunch, and occasionally serve them as a veggie side with dinner.

Update. I've been taking the Super Beets chewables for some time now, along with a natural supplement called Blood Pressure Support. I went for the results of my physical today and my blood pressure was 140/80. For me, that's great because my systolic blood pressure was 160+ in previous years. I'm a believer.

I am happy when I get a reading in that area also My high numbers were around the 160 plus a year ago also. I'm glad the Super Beets are working for you ! It has been a big change this past year to have some sort of daily regimen because of my health . Kudo's to you for sticking with yours !

I have low blood pressure problem. So I don’t dare to eat beets.

I love fresh beets, either raw or baked in the oven with a little butter. Unfortunately, fresh beets make for a rather spectacular.....uh.....color show in the toilet bowl, at least for me. Last time, they even made my urine red.

Thank goodness, I knew that was going to happen, otherwise I would have been worried.

Now, canned or pickled beets don't do that, which is good because I could eat pickled baby beets all day. But I wonder why the canned ones don't affect me.

I thought it said Beers and Blood Pressure so I rushed over. So disappointing.


Not even sure what beets are (Beetroot perhaps?)
