12 natural ways to raise nitric oxide using nutrition.
Nitric oxide is a type of gas made by the endothelial cells inside your arteries. This gas has the job of widening your arteries and blood vessels, to allow blood to circulate to different areas of the body such as the organs, muscles, nerves, skin; right down to the feet and toes.
Over age 40, studies show that nitric oxide levels drop by around 50%, so the heart has to generate more force to push blood through the system (pressure). This can mean that less oxygen reaches the peripheral tissues, such as the feet.
In this video, we look at why nitric oxide breaks down with age, 12 natural ways to raise nitric oxide using foods like garlic, watermelon rind, healthy nitrates, cacao; along with lesser-known approaches like sunlight exposure, nasal humming, grass-fed meat and spices.
