Episode notes
NO & Longevity
- Nitric oxide (NO) is crucial for longevity and overall health, impacting telomere length, stem cell mobilization, and mitochondrial function.
- NO controls telomerase activity, stem cell mobilization and differentiation, and mitochondrial energy production.
Harmful Substances for NO
- Avoid antiseptic mouthwash, fluoride, and antacids, especially proton pump inhibitors.
- These substances disrupt NO production and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and Alzheimer's.
Avoid Gummies and Chews
- Avoid gummies and chews due to their high sugar and acidic content, which destroy the oral microbiome.
- They're detrimental to oral health and overall nutrient absorption.
