Beet juice?

Question

Some of the reading I've been doing says that incorporating beets or beet juice into your diet during pregnancy can help control your blood pressure. Has anyone tried this?

Answer

I know this is an old topic but going to post incase anybody else comes here for advice.
I had high blood pressure and preeclampsia with 4/5 pregnancies and one even ended with HELLP and an extremely early delivery but then my 5th pregnancy I stand beet root juice every other day (can buy the powder at the store or online) and mix it with water/juice and I did develop high blood pressure with that pregnancy so I can not confirm it was from the beets but I feel like it had to help being I had almost an 100% chance of forming some type of high blood pressure or preeclampsia and didn’t ! Also though I drank about a gallon of water + EVERYDAY so staying hydrated I think also help a lot !

Answer

You eat them raw just peel the skin off them. Cut them up like apple slices or put in salad or blend them in a berry smoothie, or juice  them in a juicer. They are so wonderful for your health. Plus they help oxygenate your blood so drinking some beet juice before a workout will  help your body have more oxygen in it you will feel amazing while working out.  It will boost your stamina , lowers blood pressure, detoxifies your liver, reduces the risk of cancer, helps prevent aganist anemia and iron deficiency , helps with skin and anti aging, and helps with constipation and digestive disorders.  That's just a few things it helps with. So the more beets you eat the better you will be. Just make sure they are raw not canned. You can find beets in the vegetable isle of most supermarkets. The canned beets have little to no nutrients left in them. Good luck hope this helps you.

Ok, I heard this but then went to the store and the can of beets literally listed NO vitamins or minerals... so I thought it was hearsay. Is there a certain way you have to have them prepared to get anything from them?
