Nitric Oxide "Molecule of the Year" for Coronary Heart Disease

This is a GREAT video on how to stop heart disease in its tracks!  Nitric Oxide is essential to combating stroke and heart attacks.  This video speaks to the relationship of nitric oxide and L-arginine.  Dr. Joe Prendergast has written a book that will help you manage heart disease.

 

Here are tips from the Reader Digest on putting the amino acid L-ARGININE into your body:

• Eat more foods that contain the amino acid L-arginine, from which Nitric Oxide (NO) is produced. This includes beans, soy, almonds, walnuts, oats, and such cold-water fish as salmon, tuna, and mackerel.
• Cut your intake of saturated fat. Just one meal high in saturated fat can temporarily cut endothelial function almost in half.
• Exercise. The increased blood flow that occurs during exercise encourages the endothelium to make more NO. Over the long term, if you exercise every day, your endothelial cells not only release more NO but also make more of the enzyme that converts arginine into NO.

Supplements are available, here is just one.  Read more Reader's Digest here.
