Bright-red beetroot (see photo) juice contains the chemical nitrate that dramatically reduces blood pressure, a study has found. Researchers at Queen Mary, University of London, compared patients who were given a 250ml glass of beetroot juice in a day with those who took nitrate tablets. They found that the 2 methods were equally successful in reducing blood pressure, cutting the risk of heart disease, strokes and kidney failure.
