If you want a healthy cardiovascular system, make sure you add beets to your diet. The beetroot smoothie we’re going to present today is rich in important antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, as well as a special nutrient known as nitrate.
This nutrient gets transformed into nitric oxide when it enters the body. It helps better the blood flow by opening up the vessels for better oxygen flow.
Moreover, several studies have shown the beets’ ability to decrease the blood pressure, as well as to balance the systolic and diastolic pressure.

Nitrate isn’t the only substance in beets that is good for us. It also contains amazing phytochemicals, a bioactive pigment known as betalain.
