Nitric oxide is now one of the heroes of human biology. But that wasn't always the case. Until recently, nitric oxide was best known as that nasty smog-producing stuff that comes out of tailpipes. Then along came three scientists -- Louis Ignarro, Robert Furchgott and Ferid Murad -- whose pioneering work showing the good side of nitric oxide won them a Nobel Prize in 1998. The scientists were the first to identify the artery-dilating properties of nitric oxide. Nitric Oxide is one of the most significant molecules in your body and is crucial to your well-being. Nitric Oxide (NO) is actually a gas that acts throughout the body as a messenger. It sends a signal to the inner smooth-muscle cells of artery walls prompting them to dilate (relax). The artery walls relax and blood pressure eases, thus increasing the blood flow in the arteries. Nitric oxide instructs the body to perform certain key functions. In fact, Nitric Oxide influences the functioning of virtually every organ in the body, including the lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, genitals, and your heart. Here are some of its crucial functions: NO relaxes blood vessels to control and lower high blood pressure. NO reduces heart attack and strokes risk by helping open clogged arteries. The immune system uses NO to combat toxins, strengthening the internal defense system. The brain relies on NO to store and retrieve long term memories and to transmit information within the nervous system. NO supports blood flow to the genitals, that playing an important role in its normal functioning. NO is a powerful antioxidant, inactivating free radicals that damage cells. A deficiency in NO can cause a big damage to your health. Support your Nitric Oxide levels with nutrition, exercise and supplementation.It will provide a wide range of benefits throughout the body. How to Save Your Life with a Nasty Smog-Producing Stuff that Comes Out of Your Car Tailpipe… Now, let's see how you can increase your NO dramatically. Anti-Aging Fitness Program provides you 3 strategies. The first strategy is eating nutritious food rich in protein. My recommended nutrition distribution is around 50% protein. Protein accelerates your metabolic rate and actually transform you to a “fat burning machine”. But more than that, protein is the source of amino-acids. The amino acid that is a chief source for creating NO is L-arginine. L-arginine comes from plant and animal proteins. Small amounts of free L-arginine are found in vegetable juices and fermented foods, such as miso and yogurt. Soy protein and other plant proteins are richer in L-arginine than animal proteins, which are richer in lysine. Men, go light on soy products and eat more animal protein (beef, poultry, fish, eggs, and cottage cheese). Soy may have an adverse impact of increasing estrogen and reducing your free-testosterone. Women, go heavy on soy products. You need more estrogen, especially over 40 and as much as you get closer to menopause. Produce The Anti-Aging Gas that Reverses Your Age… The second strategy to increase your Nitric Oxide is by supplementation with L-arginine. Here are the benefits of L-arginine: *Improves muscle strength *Stimulates the secretion of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) *Increases sperm counts and motility *Helps in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels *Boosts energy levels *Acts as antioxidant *Lower blood pressure *Give a boost to the immune system The typical therapeutic dosage of l-arginine is 2-3 g per day. If you are following the “Anti-Aging for You” nutrition plan you don’t need to supplement because you’re already consuming enough protein. Just to be on the safe side I recommend, especially for men, to take 500 mg per day (one pill) on an empty stomach before bed time. One more advice for L-ARGININE supplements. Recently, some expensive supplements are pushed aggressively by MLM distributors. These sophisticated supplements powders, liquids, whatsoever, don’t have more edge than a regular inexpensive l-arginine that you can buy in any health shop or pharmacy. Another Way to Spice Your Life The third strategy for boosting your NO is off course…exercising. Dr. Jason Allen of Duke University has been studying the production of nitric oxide synthase, the enzyme that is responsible for producing nitric oxide. He has found that exercise increases production of the enzyme. This enzyme increases the nitric oxide levels in the blood protecting artery lining. I guess I give you just one more reason to exercise. If you haven’t started yet, visit your nearest gym but before you go wait until you hear this… Men! No Excuses Any More. You Don’t Need the Blue Pill If you haven’t heard it yet, I’m going to give you the news that will blow you away. The erection of the penis during sexual excitation is mediated by NO. The NO is released from nerve endings close to the blood vessels of the penis. Relaxation of these vessels causes blood to pool in the blood sinuses producing an erection. This is exactly what Viagra is doing. The drug increases the levels of nitric oxide and promotes smooth muscle relaxation. This, in turn, allows for extra blood flow to the penis, leading to erection. Three popular prescription drugs Viagra®, Levitra®, and Cialis® are actually imitating the NO procedure but with serious side effects (as losing eye sight etc.). These prescription drugs boost your NO level. You can get the same affect by supplement with l-arginine. Most sexual enhancement supplements for men are actually a disguised NO enhancers that contains mainly l-arginine and are highly priced. You can get the same effect by taking 3 gram of l-arginine on an empty stomach ½-1 hour before sexual activity. Usually this will count to 6 pills. Don’t worry. There is no safe limit dosage and this is a natural amino acid similar to what you get from some protein foods. Better than eating 4 chickens just before having sex. Isn’t it? No more worries…a lot of fun…and long nights
