Beets are high in natural nitrates, which your body converts to nitric oxide—a key compound that keeps arteries flexible. They also offer fiber, potassium, and antioxidant-rich betalains.
Why they’re great:

- Reduce inflammation
- Support healthy blood pressure
How to enjoy: Try ½ cup of cooked beets or a cup of beet juice 3–4 times weekly. Roast, juice, or blend into smoothies—or try beet hummus or chips.
