Calm a Stress Spike: The Beet Juice Recipe
A simple beet juice rich in natural nitrates, for the blood pressure spike that follows a stressful moment.
A stressful moment can send blood pressure up fast — and beet juice is one of the most researched natural drinks for helping the blood vessels relax back down.
What you'll need
- 2 medium beets, peeled and chopped
- 1 apple, cored and chopped
- 1/2 cup water
How to make it
- Add the beets, apple, and water to a blender or juicer.
- Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother juice.
- Drink a small glass (about 4-6 oz) once daily, ideally in the afternoon or evening.
Why people say it works
Beets are naturally high in dietary nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide — a compound that helps blood vessels relax and widen. Multiple clinical studies have shown beet juice can produce a measurable, if modest, drop in blood pressure within just a few hours of drinking it.
This is a traditional home remedy, not a medical treatment. Beets are high in natural sugar and oxalates, so check with your doctor first if you're managing blood sugar or have a history of kidney stones.
