dc.description.abstractThe present study was conducted by selecting 90 mild to moderate hypertensive and hyperlipidemic male subjects in the age group of 40-60 years. The subjects were divided into three groups i.e. Control- C; Experiment 1 - E1 and Experiment 2 – E2 with thirty each to evaluate the effectiveness of metabiotic drink based intervention in reducing blood pressure and lipid profile. A dose of 30 ml of beetroot juice and beetroot based metabiotic drink was supplemented to the Experimental groups E1 and E2 for the period of three months. Nutrition counselling sessions for both the experimental groups E1 and E2 was done at an interval of 15 days. A brochure containing information on nitrate rich foods, benefits of beetroot based metabiotic drink and life style modifications was developed and distributed. The data revealed that the subjects were sedentary workers having family medical history of diabetes followed by hypertension and hyperlipidemia. The results of intervention showed that beetroot based metabiotic drink significantly reduced the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in E2 group compared to E1 and control group. Total cholesterol levels varied among groups, with potential for reduction in the E2 group. HDL levels showed some variations, but the impact of the intervention was not consistent across all groups. Serum triglyceride levels remained relatively stable, with slight reductions observed in the experimental groups during the first intervention point. Hence, the study suggests that beetroot-based metabiotic drinks need to be popularized for the prevention and management of hypertension. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore the long-term effects in such intervention.
