Conditions
Summary
Vegetables, mainly green leafy ones and some others like beets, are a rich source of nitrate. Nitrate metabolism has shown benefits to the body and there are recent studies that agree that the consumption of nitrates from vegetables can modify the oral microbiota by increasing species with nitrate-reducing capacity, which are also bacteria that are associated with oral health.
