ABSTRACT
Beta vulgaris, are herbacious biennial root vegetables belonging to the family Chenopodiaceae grown for their edible root. Beetroot juices are beneficial in reducing blood pressure. A commonly known plant among practitioners of used by folklore peoples. The aerial parts were screened for its antihypertensive activity on animal models. It was found that effect of beta vulagris showed significant antihypertensive activity just like reference drug by significantly reducing the salt induced hypertension in rats. In conclusion, with sodium intake groups to check the cardiovascular properties they should be avoiding sodium intake and high fatty diet. Patients with the risk of hypertension and obesity have proper abrasions towards the regulation sodium intake, which can decrease the risk of cardiac or renal diseases. Thus it can be concluded that beta vulgaris proves its activity scientifically as because it is well correlated with the presence of phytoconstituent (flavonoids). The flavonoid moiety helps in breaking down the excess of fat deposition, acts by the mechanism of liposuction within the cells, and prevents CVS disorders. Thus, the results suggested that more amount of sodium in diet could be dangerous with the patients suffering from obese nature or hypertension. Increased amount of salt holds stress on overworked cardiovascular system. Thus, a reduction in the intake of sodium serves as a intake which could be very beneficial to human race.
