If you were to eat, say, 50 beets, that'd probably be healthy. If you were to listen to Peace Love Productions 50 Beats directly after eating beats, however, the beneficial effects would almost certainly be neutralized. These beats will raise your blood pressure, is what I'm getting around to saying.
