2. People With Low Blood Pressure
The natural nitrates in beets relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. While helpful for people with hypertension, this effect can be dangerous for those who already have low blood pressure, leading to dizziness, weakness, or fainting—especially when combined with BP medication.
3. People With Diabetes
Beets contain natural sugars and can raise blood glucose, particularly in juice form where the fiber is removed. Diabetics should stick to small portions, avoid beet juice, and pair beets with protein or healthy fats.
Final Thought:
Beets offer many benefits, but if you have kidney stones, low blood pressure, or diabetes, it’s best to use caution and consult your doctor before adding them to your routine.
