Or about a Cup of beet juice a day" – these are the findings of researchers from the medical school of Bart’s, London. However, this is not a reason to refuse to take antihypertensive drugs that are prescribed by the doctor. By the way, well-known nitroglycerin, which is always at hand at the core, belongs to the group of nitrates.
