Drink Beet Juice to Lower<br />
Blood Pressure<br />
Hypertension is a global disease that particularly affects<br />
people in low-income communities, but a new study by<br />
the UK University of Nottingham suggests that beetroot<br />
juice may be a practical solution for people with high blood<br />
pressure that have little access to diagnostic help or money<br />
for medication. Researchers divided 47 people between 50<br />
and 70 years of age in Tanzania into three groups. For 60<br />
days, one group drank nitrate-rich beetroot juice and folic<br />
acid; another was given nitrate-rich<br />
beetroot juice and a placebo; and the<br />
third drank nitrate-depleted beetroot<br />
juice. The researchers found that<br />
systolic blood pressure dropped by<br />
10.8 millimeters (mm) Hg (mercury)<br />
in the nitrate-rich plus folic acid group<br />
and 6.1 mm Hg in the nitrate-rich and<br />
placebo group. Studies have shown<br />
that the high level of nitrates in beets<br />
is converted by the digestive system<br />
into nitric oxide, which relaxes and<br />
widens blood vessels.<br />

Consider Curcumin<br />
and Nano-Curcumin<br />
for Heart Health<br />
Iranian researchers tested 90<br />
patients undergoing elective<br />
heart angioplasty, giving<br />
one group 500<br />
milligrams (mg)<br />
curcumin, the<br />
second group 80<br />
mg nano-curcumin, and the<br />
third a placebo. After eight weeks, both types of curcumin<br />
significantly improved cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-C<br />
levels. They also boosted antioxidant levels, superoxide<br />
dismutase and glutathione, and reduced C-reactive protein<br />
levels, indicating less inflammation. The nano-curcumin,<br />
however, produced even better results in five of<br />
those indexes, leading the authors to conclude that<br />
the effects of curcumin on the nano formula may be<br />
more conducive for cardiac patients due to its high<br />
bioavailability. Nano-curcumin is made through a<br />
process that encapsulates the herb, allowing it to<br />
be metabolized better.<br />
