Globally, increased awareness of the causes behind heart attacks and strokes has put heart health at the forefront of consumers’ minds. The Blood Pressure Association states that one in three adults in the U.K. has high blood pressure, which greatly increases the risk of serious health problems. Recognizing the importance of educating consumers about the consequences of poor eating habits, U.K.-based James White launched an organic beetroot juice under the catchy and original brand name Heart Beet. Known in the U.K. for its farm-pressed apple juices, James White has extended its offerings with the organic beetroot juice positioned to lower the body’s blood pressure. Heart Beet contains high levels of nitrate that, according to some health studies quoted on the company’s website, can serve as a natural aspirin to help prevent blood clotting and protect the lining of blood vessels, in addition to lowering blood pressure. Manufactured with organically grown crushed beetroots and apples, Heart Beet is free of concentrates and preservatives.
