Hi all:
Question: Do you know what Nitric Oxide is?
Nitric Oxide (NO) is essential to our overall physical and mental health.
Nitric Oxide is an essential metabolic and vascular regulator that is naturally made in the body. It has positive effects on our general health, the aging process, and helps to repair skin damage. It even protects us from some of the effects of Covid-19!
Nitric Oxide particularly helps reduce anxiety and depression. A lack of adequate NO production increases the risk of depression and the presence of NO positively affects our mood.
NO function diminishes as we age so it's important that we introduce NO supplements into our diet if our levels are low.
Here are a few causes of diminished NO:
• Overconsumption of refined flours, sugars, and hydrogenated fats
• Excessive use of medications like antibiotics, antidepressants, birth control pills, NSAIDs, and PPIs
• Exposure to pollution, toxins, and heavy metals
• Sedentary lifestyle, Stress, and a lack of exercise
The good news is that Nitric Oxide function can be restored through healthy lifestyle changes, foods that enrich Nitric Oxide, and supplementation.
Your NO levels can be measured with a simple test. I would like to extend to you an opportunity to test your NO levels, for free, while they last. Just DM me. In future posts, I plan to discuss more about NO, so stay tuned.
As always, I'm here to answer your questions. Have something you want to know about NO? Send me a DM.
