One Teaspoon A Day Opens Blood Vessels Fast | Dr. Mandell

Beetroot is rich in dietary nitrates. These nitrates are converted through the oral bacteria and gut into nitric oxide, a signaling molecule that tells the smooth muscle in your artery walls to relax and open. When your vessels widen, blood can flow more freely, your heart does not have to pump as hard against stiff resistance, and systolic blood pressure often comes down. This is exactly what multiple clinical trials and reviews are now showing.
