Scientists have discovered a natural way to lower blood pressure—without pills and without side effects.

Drinking beetroot juice has been shown to reduce blood pressure in older adults. What makes it special is not only its nutrients, but the way it changes the bacteria in our mouth.

Researchers at the University of Exeter studied people in their 60s and 70s who drank nitrate-rich beetroot juice twice a day for two weeks. The results were striking—their blood pressure dropped significantly.

The juice also shifted the oral microbiome. It reduced harmful bacteria and boosted the good ones, helping the body turn dietary nitrate into nitric oxide. This compound is vital for keeping blood vessels healthy and flexible.

Interestingly, younger participants didn’t see the same effect. That’s likely because nitric oxide levels naturally decline with age, which makes older adults more responsive to nitrate-rich diets.

Beetroot is not the only source. Spinach, celery, and fennel also contain high levels of dietary nitrate. Including these foods may offer a safe and natural way to support heart and blood vessel health.

This research highlights how simple changes in diet could help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, offering a powerful tool for healthier aging.
