What Are The Health Benefits Of Beetroot And Their Side Effects?
I have read about the benefits of drinking red beet juice. It is supposed to help with high blood pressure by enhancing nitric oxide which increases the flow of blood, thus also helping the heart. Some side effects can be a high chance of getting cancer or type 2 diabetes. Is there any truth to the above?

Hello,
It is true that consuming beetroot can help you with blood circulation and blood pressure. It is not true that it increases the chance of cancer and diabetes. You can consume it as salad or as juice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
