Beets

Beets are sweet, bulbous root vegetables that most people either love or hate. Beet juice, commonly known as beetroot juice, has been shown in studies to be beneficial to your health.

Beets are high in manganese, potassium, and folate, all of which are essential nutrients. They're also abundant in nitrates, a type of natural plant compound with potent health benefits. Beetroot juice, which is high in nitrates, has been shown to increase blood pressure as well as athletic and mental performance in studies. People who consumed 250 milliliters (or 8.4 ounces) of beet juice daily had reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure, according to the study. Beets are not only excellent in juices, but their leafy green tops, known as beet greens, are also incredibly healthy and may be juiced.
