Beet juice: drink up!

Beet juice really does have some health benefits. A 2015 study in the journal Hypertension reported that one cup of beet juice daily lowers blood pressure. It lowered the top number by 8 points on average and the bottom number by 2 to 5 points during a four-week test.

According to the University of California Berkeley Wellness Letter, one study even suggested that beets caused greater blood flow to the frontal lobe (involved in planning and problem solving).

Ordinary beet juice will give you the same benefits as expensive products, the letter said.
