Heart Health on  February... Let your heart 'beet'!

Protect your heart and your vessels. It is heart health month, and I just want to remind you of things you know must do,  such as EXERCISE daily , MANAGE YOUR STRESS BETTER and, of course.  EAT RIGHT!
This is where this bloody-colored veggie ~ BEETS ~ gets in the picture.  
As 'red' as it sounds, and despite their taste (ouch!!), there are too many positive claims on the goodness of this vegetable for your cardiovascular system, so it is almost impossible to pass it on and forget it as part of our wellness cabinet.
Did you know that beets could make you:
1.  more energetic?
2. lower your blood pressure?
3. increase your blood flow to muscles while exercising?
4. decrease stiffening of your arteries at rest?
And have...
5. Potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects due to their betalain pigment content?

In addition to the betalain pigments, they contain high doses of NITRATES (one of their secrets), which when converted to Nitrous Oxide (NO)  in your body,  will achieve vasorelaxation (see Image 1) and  other benefits (Image 2)!

There is  a lot of science going on when it comes to beets and cardiovascular disease.
From blood pressure, to aneurysms and atherosclerosis , beets could have an amazing beneficial impact on your heart health, and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Because we are what we eat, and our best medicine is food, give BEETS a try. Add them to your daily regime.  /Smoothie-them' in, eat them in your salad, and if not ... get a super beet powder concentrate out there and let your heart "beet" as strong and healthy as it can.
