i believe the BP benifit is that beet juice contains a fair amount of nitric oxide which relieves the constriction of arterys and viens, and by letting them open up some bloods flows easier and pressure is reduced.

Outer Rondacker, thanks for the feedback. Every morning, I take my BP med, and a Vit-D pill, but I put a small amount of V-8 juice in a small blender and put a heaped 1/2 teaspoon of red yeast rice in there, and swirl it up. The V-8 is thick and the RYR powder blends right in, and I use it to swallow the other two pills. Done. I can't take statin pills, but the RYR powder has done well and my cholesterol stays down. I was thinking of just combing a hit of beet powder in the mix, and swallow it all down. I will get some that is sourced from India, instead of China, if for no other reason than principal.

For those looking for "made in America" beets, they're very, very easy to grow. You almost can't do it wrong. A few seeds in the ground, forget about them, and before you know it, beets.

If you've already cut out most of the processed food, what's left to change is sugar and alcohol. Every ounce you cut is weight you don't have to carry. I say that as someone who likes them both... My wife is a nutritionist and been living in a large, health-conscious family that's tried everything. Those are the things that consistently work for everyone. And if you really want to kick the weight, go coffee and water for one day a week. It's not that bad...you can use the saved hour or two for anything you want. Casting...handloading...shooting...breakfast the day after tastes like heaven...
