Beet the Blood Preasure

Here in winter-locked Canada, beau­ti­ful beets are now offi­cially in season!

In addi­tion to being a colour­ful addi­tion to sal­ads and a great nat­ural sweet­ener, beets have also recently been found to be a pos­si­ble treat­ment for high blood pressure!

Peo­ple who drank a glass or two of beet­root juice a day (store-bought or home­made) found their blood pres­sure decreased by up to 10 points.

So if you have hyper­ten­sion, or just want to remind your taste buds that fresh sum­mer sal­ads are just around the cor­ner – think beets!
