403: Simple Ways to Boost Nitric Oxide for Better Heart, Brain, and Immune Function | Nathan Bryan, PhD
The Genius Life
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. The pathway to convert nitrate into nitric oxide involves getting enough nitrate from food, maintaining a balanced oral microbiome, and having proper stomach acid production. 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.
