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.
