A May 2021 study by Edith Cowan University said
"Our results have shown that by simply eating one cup of raw (or half a cup of cooked) nitrate-rich vegetables each day, people may be able to significantly reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease,"
"The greatest reduction in risk was for peripheral artery disease (26 percent), a type of heart disease characterised by the narrowing of blood vessels of the legs, however we also found people had a lower risk of heart attacks, strokes and heart failure."
"People don't need to be taking supplements to boost their nitrate levels because the study showed that one cup of leafy green vegetables each day is enough to reap the benefits for heart disease,”
"We did not see further benefits in people who ate higher levels of nitrate rich vegetables."
"Blending leafy greens is fine, but don't juice them. Juicing vegetables removes the pulp and fibre,"
