pressure levels in just a few hours. One study found that drinking one glass of beet juice lowered participants’ blood pressure by an average of 4-5 points. This can be attributed to the naturally occurring nitrates in beets‚ which are converted to nitric oxide in the body. This then relaxes and dilates the blood vessels to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Many illnesses and chronic diseases begin with inflammation in the body. Betaine is a nutrient in beets that protects cells‚ proteins

power plants‚ and other industrial factories burn fossil fuels such as gasoline‚ coal‚ and fuel oils. When combusted‚ the non renewable resources release pollutants such as sulfur‚ carbon and nitrogen oxides into the air. These oxide combine with the humidity in the air and form sulfuric‚ nitric and carbonic acid. This acidic solution eventually condenses in the air and comes back down to the earth in any from of precipitation (snow‚ rain‚ hail). Upon returning to the earth‚ the acidic precipitation

a weak carbonic acid. The acidity in the precipitations (rain‚ snow‚ fog) come from gasses released into the atmosphere by industrial factories‚ the combustion of fossil fuels‚ and even volcanoes. These gasses‚ sulfur dioxide and various nitrogen oxides‚ chemically react with the water vapors and oxygen in the atmosphere forming acidic vapors that will eventually rain back down on people‚ cities‚ and the environment. Normal rain water is a little acidic because of the presence of carbon dioxide
