Beetroot juice improves vascular and cognitive health in the elderly.

A new trial conducted on a group of people aged 70 to 80 years showed that drinking beetroot juice improved vascular and cognitive health in the elderly. Participants were supplemented for ten days with either beetroot juice or a placebo juice, taken twice a day. Those who took beetroot had their blood pressure drop. Long-term maintenance of a healthy oral microbiome helps to delay the negative vascular and cognitive changes associated with aging,” said the study’s lead author.
