Why Nitric Oxide Matters
Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule that helps blood vessels relax and expand. It’s essential for heart health, energy production, and circulation.
1. Eat More Beets & Greens
Beets, arugula, spinach, and celery contain nitrates that convert to nitric oxide in your body.
2. Supplement with L-Citrulline
This amino acid supports natural NO production and is often more effective than L-arginine alone.
3. Breathe Through Your Nose
It sounds simple, but nasal breathing naturally increases nitric oxide levels via sinuses.
4. Use Red Light Therapy
Low-level red light therapy may increase NO production in tissues and enhance vascular function.
5. Avoid Mouthwash After Nitrate-Rich Meals
Antibacterial mouthwash can kill the good bacteria needed to convert dietary nitrate into nitric oxide.
Always consult your practitioner before starting new supplements or therapies.
