Beetroot tea can reduce high blood pressure
Beetroot tea contains nitrates, meaning they boost our body’s levels of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide – a gas already naturally occurring in the body – tells our blood vessels to expand, increasing blood flow and lowering blood pressure.
A study showed that drinking just one glass of beet tea (or eating the equivalent amount) could reduced systolic blood pressure by a significant 4-5 mmHg. This makes beetroot tea an effective supplement for preventing and treating some cardiovascular conditions.

Beetroot tea can help people with heart failure and heart disease

Another health benefit of beetroot tea is its nitrate levels, which have been linked to increased power in our muscles – including our heart. A study reported in Circulation: Heart Failure reported that drinking a glass of beetroot juice improved muscle power in patient with heart failure.

Beetroot tea can help you exercise for longer
We have these nitrates to thank again when it comes to improved exercise performance. This means that thanks to the increased oxygen circulating to our muscles, we’re able to perform at a certain level for longer.
One study found that the stamina-boosting properties of drinking beetroot juice could actually help you exercise for up to 16% longer.

Beetroot tea can help fight against cancer cells
Whilst there’s limited evidence to support this fully, initial studies have suggested that one of beetroot’s health benefits could be an effect on cancerous cells.

Beetroot tea can help symptoms of long-term conditions
With beetroot tea being rich in nitrates, its health benefits extend to some chronic diseases:

Diabetes

The antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid has been found to have links to reduced glucose levels, as well as increased insulin sensitivity in diabetics. It has also been found to reduce the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage).

Dementia

One study found that a high nitrate diet could improve the flow of oxygen to regions of older adults’ brains – a problem found in adults with dementia.

Beetroot tea helps you keep your weight in-check
The nutritional content of beets is what makes them so good for people looking to lose weight:

Calories in beetroot: 44 kcals per 100 grams of cooked beets (like those pre-prepared in supermarkets)
2 grams of fiber (8% of our RDA)
1.7 grams of protein (3% of our RDA)
Virtually no fat
Because of their high levels of fibre, eating beets can leave you feeling fuller from eating less than other foods. And, due to the low calorie content, this makes the food a healthy and effective addition to a weight-loss diet.

Eating beetroot maintains healthy potassium levels
Potassium deficiency – when we’re not consuming enough – can cause fatigue, digestive issues and weakness.

Fight inflammation throughout the body
Beetroot tea contain important pigments called betalains. have been found to have various anti-inflammatory properties, although no human studies have been conducted.

Beetroot maintains a healthy liver
Regularly drinking beetroot tea, or adding them to your diet, has been found to increase the amount of certain detoxifying liver enzymes. These help to protect the organ, and allow it to work more efficiently.
