Arugula
Peppery crucifer; dietary nitrate with blood-pressure evidence.
Targets: Blood pressure
Arugula is the preferred “flavor green” for this shake: peppery, cruciferous, and a natural source of dietary nitrate. A meta-analysis of 16 RCTs found nitrate supplementation lowered systolic blood pressure by ~4.4 mmHg, and a review of 23 studies found beetroot nitrate improved endurance and exercise economy.
