If older adults with a specific type of heart condition drink beetroot juice every day for a week, their resting blood pressure may drop by about 14 points — which could be a meaningful improvement for their health.

Drinking a glass of beetroot juice every day for a month can lower your blood pressure in different settings—like at home, at the doctor’s office, and even when you’re wearing a monitor all day—without your body getting used to it and losing the effect.

Drinking beetroot juice every day with at least 397 mg of nitrate can lower high blood pressure as much as common blood pressure pills do.

Drinking beetroot juice with 800 mg of nitrate after working out might lower blood pressure by about 9 points in women over 50 who have high blood pressure, helping their heart recover better.

Drinking beetroot juice in a warm room doesn't make your blood pressure go down compared to drinking a placebo in the same warm room.

Drinking one glass of beetroot juice won’t help older adults with a certain type of heart failure exercise better, even though it raises a chemical in their blood — they might need to drink it every day for a while before they see any benefit.
