Aging is a silent thief of Nitric Oxide (NO).
As we get older, our endothelial lining, the inner skin of our blood vessels, loses its ability to produce this vital molecule. The result? Stiffer vessels and higher cardiovascular risk.
Over the lifespan (ages 20–91), flow mediated dilation (a measure of a blood vessels ability to expand) drops by 48–64% in healthy nonsmoking adults
But you can bypass the factory and provide the raw materials directly.
The Nitrate-to-Nitric oxide pathway allows these 6 powerhouses to do the heavy lifting for your heart:
•Arugula (The undisputed nitrate king)
•Beetroot
•Radish
•Spinach
•Celery
•Lettuce
Pro-tip: Don't use antibacterial mouthwash immediately after eating these. You need the bacteria on your tongue to convert nitrates into nitrites!
Eat your greens. Your blood vessels will thank you. 🥬🩸

We want a rainbow of vegetables and fruits on our plates because each color signifies a different healthy phytonutrient--nutrient in the plant. Aim to consume 7-9 a day (2-3 fruits and 5-7 vegetables). How many did you have so far today? #diet#nutrition https://t.co/jODJYpokjM

@DrKristieLeong My wife loves non-salted peanuts. Unfortunately last night she broke a molar already with an amalgam filling. Today she had a cap to replace the broken part at a cost of $750 Cdn. The question is should she grind the nuts she eats to prevent another tooth horror show ;-)?
