There are no symptoms for most people when they have high blood pressure, (hypertension), except when having a blood pressure check at the doctors.
But hypertension can cause severe problems within the body, if left unchecked and untreated, including weakening of the heart.
To be able to bring down your blood pressure usually requires medication from the doctors and being on that medication for many years, if not for the rest of your life. However, there are natural ways to bring the blood pressure down, one of them is to drink 500ml of beetroot juice, (not the vinegar they come in, in jars),a day. This can significantly reduce blood pressure. The key beneficial ingredient appears to be nitrate, which is also found in green, leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, spinach and greens, so eating lots of these can also help.
UK researchers have found that volunteers blood pressure was reduced within 1 hour of drinking the juice. The study by Barts and the London School of Medicine and the Peninsula Medical School could suggest a low cost and easily available way to treat hypertension (blood pressure).
