Drinking beetroot juice dramatically lowers risk of heart disease and strokes | Mail Online
Although I wasn't' aware you could ferment beetroot and make it into wine

Though they now may miss the high blood pressurre.

On account of you already being red in the face.

Once scared myself witless one morning after my morning ablutions , had forgotten that I had eaten fresh beetroots as a side vegetable the previous night , guess beets are not fully digestable

Tell you what Garinda I wish everything else was as good as my blood pressure, that's something I have never had problems with. In fact only two weeks ago when a community matron took my blood pressure, she said, how come somebody with extensive chest problems has near perfect blood pressure

I wasn't meaning you, but someone who daily drank their own body weigh in beetroot juice.

I wonder if your result would have been different, if it had been a sexy young nurse, rather than Matron taking your blood pressure?

I have low blood pressure, and I regularly include beetroot in my 'green smoothies'.
I don't eat tomatoes, so beetroot is a colourful addition to salads.
...a much underrated vegetable - it actually tastes nice.

I recently bought a bottle of beetroot juice but haven't opened it yet - saving it for a time when I may run out of the whole veg.

I've always liked beetroot Margaret, both fresh of pickled, in fact there are very few foods that I don't like really

If that was a pic of a smoothie bar, it is understandable.
Most people own a blender or a juicer.

PS it is much easier to juice a pint of fruit and veg than spend an hour chewing through a pile of the stuff

They might well be smooth, and therefore more comfortable, but it's actually a photograph of red stools.
