The study in patients with IPF showed improved walking times and vascular function with nitrate-rich beetroot juice compared with placebo.

Beetroot juice is rich in nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator that relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood press...

A new study from researchers at the University of Exeter suggests that drinking nitrate-rich beetroot juice may help lower blood pressure in older adults, potentially through changes in the oral microbiome. The research included 39 younger adults under 30 and 36 older adults in their 60s and 70s. Participants completed two separate two-week phases: one in which they consumed nitrate-rich beetroot juice twice daily and another in which they consumed a nitrate-free placebo version, separated by a washout period. Researchers found that only the older group experienced a meaningful reduction in blood pressure after consuming the nitrate-rich beet juice, while younger participants did not show the same cardiovascular response, despite both groups showing changes in mouth bacteria. The study indicates that aging may alter how the body processes dietary nitrate. A key finding was that beetroot juice appeared to shift the balance of bacteria in the mouth. In older adults, levels of potentially less beneficial bacteria such as Prevotella decreased, while beneficial bacteria like Neisseria increased. These changes are important because oral bacteria help convert dietary nitrate into nitrite, which is then used by the body to produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is essential for relaxing blood vessels and regulating blood pressure. The study adds to growing evidence that the oral microbiome plays a significant role in cardiovascular health and that dietary nitrate from vegetables like beetroot, spinach, and kale may support healthy aging. However, researchers emphasize that beetroot juice is not a replacement for blood pressure medications or established medical treatments. Instead, it may serve as a supportive dietary strategy, particularly for older adults who naturally produce less nitric oxide as they age. Further research is needed to understand why responses differ between individuals and how long-term dietary changes might influence cardiovascular health.
