🌱 Beetroot juice might help kidneys during pregnancy
Beetroot juice shows early promise as a safe, low-cost support for pregnant women with chronic kidney disease. Researchers at King’s College London studied 108 women across eight UK hospitals regarding this intervention. The trial tracked participants before 25 weeks, noting 70% fewer serious adverse events in the juice group. This suggests beetroot's nitrate content could improve blood vessel function, easing kidney pressure. Larger trials are necessary to confirm these encouraging early findings for mothers and newborns. 👶
