Beginning with cardiovascular health, the term cardiovascular broadly encompasses several benefits of the beetroot, so there is a wide range of cardiovascular benefits ranging from blood pressure-lowering effects to possible increased performance during aerobic exercises. These two traits can be primarily attributed to one point: beetroot is high in nitrate, and your body converts nitrate into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, meaning it relaxes the inner muscled of your blood vessels, which caused the vessels to widen. Consequently, nitric oxide increases blood flow and lowers blood pressure.
More interestingly, research studies have shown that many people with high blood pressure may have the inability to use the nitric oxide in their bodies.
