Beetroot is within my limit of 10% carbs - I think it is usually around 7 or 8% carb - I put one in my daily salad.
That really is not something 'full of sugar'. Perhaps you are thinking of sugar beet?

Blood pressure in the mid 20th century was recommended as your age + 100.
They have continually moved the goalposts over the years.
I think they set a figure in the early nineties of 140 over 90 as being acceptable.
Coupling this to supposedly high cholesterol figures, enabled the pharma industry to make an awful lot of money.
They then revised it down again to 130 over 80 and Kerching!! more customers and even more money.
So with all the medications now being prescribed, you would think that peoples blood pressure would have improved.
Wrong!!!
According to current data about 14.4 million people ( 1 in 4 ) in the UK suffer from hypertension.
The Western diet, as is currently being consumed by the masses, is destroying peoples health.
Seed oils and ultra processed, chemically enhanced fake food has led us here.
Blood pressure numbers have not moved nearly as much as the goalposts have.
I revised my diet in 2020.
My BP today was 129 over 79.
It's down from around 150 over 90 5 years ago.
Diet is the answer not more pills.
