Beetroot and blood pressure

Can eating too much beetroot be bad for your blood pressure levels? Is there a beetroot - blood pressure connection?

My great aunt eats beetroot every single day of her life and has recently been found to have high blood pressure. I am certain that the two are connected but dont know if there is any research about this.

Has anyone else found this connection?

Beetroot and blood pressure is not a connection I’ve come across I have to say.

There are lots of articles linking foodstuffs to blood pressure issues - both as causes of high blood pressure and as potential treatments.

Tomatoes certainly can lower blood pressure. Beetroot for blood pressure is a new one for me.

Anyone else got any experience of this?

A study in the journal Hypertension showed that two cups (500 ml) of beet juice lowered blood pressure by approximately 10 points. In research from The London School of Medicine and Peninsula Medical School, ingestion of dietary nitrate contained within beet juice reduced blood pressure within one hour of drinking the juice and lasts up to 24 hours
