Benefits of Beet Juice: Drink beets as a juice. Beet juice goes well with carrots, cucumber and celery. Dr. Oz said that 77 million people in this country are a high blood pressure risk. Beets can help you because they dilate your blood vessels which in turn lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk for heart attacks. You can lower your pressure with beet juice by simply drinking 1 eight oz glass of beet juice every day. One of the major benefits of beet juice it that it contains a color pigment called betalain. This is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, fungicidal and aid in detoxification substance. There is research that indicates that betalain may exhibit anti-cancer activity. Beets get their reddish color from the beta carotene that they contain. The best way to get the maximum amount of nutrients from beets is to juice them (without the greens).
