The Impact of Diet and Lifestyle on Nitric Oxide Production
Nitrate is the predominant molecule in green leafy vegetables, crucial for nitric oxide production in humans.

However, factors like inadequate consumption of green leafy vegetables, use of mouthwash and fluorinated toothpaste, and the widespread use of proton pump inhibitors hinder nitric oxide production. Inhibiting nitric oxide production can lead to reduced blood flow, increased insulin resistance, and a higher risk of chronic diseases like heart attack, stroke, and Alzheimer's.
