Did you know 128hz is a penetrative frequency that goes through the tissues into the bones and helps release nitric oxide into your cells? Grok: Nitric oxide (NO) is a naturally produced signaling molecule in the body that plays a critical role in many physiological processes. It acts primarily... as a vasodilator, relaxing and widening blood vessels to improve blood flow, deliver oxygen and nutrients more efficiently, and support overall cellular communication. Here are the key benefits of nitric oxide in the body, based on its established physiological functions: ### 1. Cardiovascular Health and Blood Pressure Regulation Nitric oxide helps relax the smooth muscles in blood vessel walls, leading to vasodilation. This increases blood flow, reduces vascular resistance, and helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels. It also protects the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels), reduces arterial stiffness, inhibits platelet aggregation (lowering clot risk), and may decrease inflammation and plaque buildup. Low NO levels are linked to endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, and higher cardiovascular disease risk. ### 2. Improved Exercise Performance and Muscle Function By enhancing blood flow to working muscles, nitric oxide improves oxygen and nutrient delivery while helping remove waste products like lactate. This can boost endurance, increase exercise tolerance (especially in less-trained individuals), reduce muscle soreness, and support better recovery. It may also influence muscle contraction speed and mitochondrial efficiency in cells. ### 3. Support for Erectile Function and Sexual Health Nitric oxide is a primary mediator of penile erection, as it promotes relaxation of smooth muscle in blood vessels, allowing increased blood flow. Supplements that boost NO (such as L-arginine or L-citrulline) have shown potential benefits for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction (ED) in some studies. It may also support sexual arousal more broadly. ### 4. Immune System Defense Nitric oxide acts as a key player in immune responses. It helps immune cells (like macrophages) kill bacteria, viruses, and even some cancer cells by producing higher levels during infection or inflammation. It also modulates inflammation—providing anti-inflammatory effects at normal physiological levels while aiding targeted defense at higher concentrations. ### 5. Brain and Nervous System Function As a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, nitric oxide facilitates communication between brain cells. It supports cerebral blood flow, learning, memory, and other neurological processes. Adequate levels may help protect against cognitive decline by improving brain oxygenation and circulation. ### 6. Other Potential Benefits - Wound healing and tissue repair: Enhanced blood flow and signaling support recovery processes. - Respiratory support: In medical settings, inhaled NO helps relax lung blood vessels in certain conditions (like pulmonary hypertension in newborns). - Anti-aging and metabolic effects: By supporting circulation, reducing oxidative stress in balanced amounts, and aiding hormone regulation, it contributes to overall vitality. It may also play roles in reducing risks associated with diabetes complications or arthritis inflammation. Note that nitric oxide has a dual nature: beneficial at physiological (low-to-moderate) levels, but excessive production (often in chronic inflammation) can contribute to tissue damage or pro-inflammatory effects. The body produces NO via enzymes (nitric oxide synthase) from precursors like L-arginine, or through nitrate-nitrite pathways from diet. Natural ways to support nitric oxide levels include eating nitrate-rich foods (beets, leafy greens like spinach/arugula, garlic), consuming antioxidants (to preserve NO), regular exercise (which stimulates production), nose breathing, and maintaining good sleep and cardiovascular habits.show more

Dr. Nathan Bryan drops a bold claim in this 1:34 clip: Nitric oxide deficiency is the hidden root behind many chronic diseases—and restoring it could be a game-changer. Key conditions he links directly to low nitric oxide: - Erectile dysfunction (the "canary in the coal mine" for early cardiovascular decline) - High blood pressure - Metabolic disease & diabetes - Alzheimer's (vascular + metabolic + inflammatory aspects) He argues Alzheimer's is fundamentally a vascular disease: Nitric oxide improves brain blood flow, glucose uptake, reduces inflammation, oxidative stress, immune dysfunction, and prevents protein misfolding/amyloid plaque buildup. His conclusion: "I'm absolutely convinced [nitric oxide] will eradicate and cure Alzheimer's... because it addresses every physiological root cause." Provocative take—science-backed or too optimistic? Watch & decide. What chronic condition do you think nitric oxide could impact most in your life? Thoughts below.

Dr. Nathan Bryan on nitric oxide deficiency & chronic disease — and the surprising diet fix Nitric oxide loss links to erectile dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, metabolic disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Why? Because it’s crucial for blood flow, reducing inflammation, and preventing protein misfolding in the brain. He’s convinced nitric oxide could eradicate Alzheimer’s by addressing every root cause. But here’s the kicker: It’s not just about what to eat — it’s what NOT to eat. Avoid sugar and high-glycemic foods like the plague. They’re toxins that stick to everything, lower nitric oxide, and fuel diseases like heart attack, stroke, and neuropathy. Instead, focus on high-quality protein, good fats, and minimal carbs. Simple, but transformative. 3:52 clip inside — your health depends on it. Note: Always consult a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes.

The part most people throw away may be one of the most interesting parts of the watermelon. That pale white layer between the juicy red flesh and the green skin is naturally rich in L-citrulline - an amino acid your body converts into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps relax blood vessels, supporting healthy circulation and normal blood flow. That's one reason citrulline has attracted attention in both sports nutrition and cardiovascular research. While the exact amount varies by watermelon variety, several studies have found that the white rind can contain higher concentrations of citrulline than the red flesh. The rind is also a source of: Fiber Water Plant compounds that would otherwise go to waste Instead of throwing it away, many people: Blend it into smoothies or fresh juice Pickle it Add it to stir-fries or salads No single food transforms your health overnight. But sometimes the healthiest habit is simply learning to use more of the foods you already buy. Have you ever eaten watermelon rind?

Onions are packed with numerous health benefits that contribute to overall well-being. They are rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which helps reduce inflammation and combat oxidative stress, lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. The sulfur compounds in onions are known to support heart health by improving blood circulation, lowering blood pressure, and reducing cholesterol levels. Moreover, onions have antibacterial properties that can boost the immune system, helping to fend off infections. Their high fiber content promotes healthy digestion by encouraging regular bowel movements and feeding beneficial gut bacteria. Onions also contain essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, and manganese, which are vital for immune function, energy production, and bone health. Additionally, they have been found to support blood sugar regulation, making them beneficial for managing diabetes. The prebiotics in onions enhance gut health, which in turn supports overall metabolic and immune health. Regular consumption of onions can also improve skin and hair health due to their high sulfur content, which is necessary for the production of collagen and keratin.

Nearly 1 in 4 young adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure. That number rises to 1 in 2 for adults aged 40 and over. One nutrient that may help modestly lower blood pressure is magnesium. Magnesium plays an important role in regulating vascular tone. It influences calcium signaling in vascular smooth muscle and pathways involving nitric oxide and prostacyclin, helping blood vessels relax and dilate. Meta-analyses of randomized controlled studies find that magnesium supplementation at a dose of around 370 mg/day for about 3 months reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 2 mmHg each. Magnesium certainly isn’t a replacement for antihypertensive medication when medication is needed. But blood pressure is something we’re exposed to continuously, year after year. Small improvements maintained over decades may matter. That's why knowing your blood pressure (and getting it under control) is so important, even for people in their 20 and 30s.

You may have seen the article in The Times today talking about the increased risk of cardiovascular disease after menopause - I shared it here earlier. Well this is something we have known for many years now so I wanted to share some of the science behind why this is the case. A lot of it is because the hormone oestrogen plays such an important role in protecting your cardiovascular health… ❤️ Oestrogen allows your blood vessels to relax and widen so that blood can flow through them easily. This helps to keep your blood pressure down ❤️ Oestrogen can reduce the levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol in your blood. This is a type of fat that can clog the arteries and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke ❤️ Oestrogen reduces inflammation in the lining of your blood vessels ❤️Oestrogen increases levels of nitrous oxide, which is a chemical known to relax and widen blood vessels ❤️ Oestrogen supports the conducting system of the heart The video I am sharing here is a short clip from a recent Instagram Live I recorded, but I go into much more detail on the full version which you can watch on my YouTube channel here:

Do the Bhramari Pranayama the right way to reduce stress and increase Nitric Oxide, relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow, including to the brain. Nowadays, this Pranayama is being appropriated, rebranded, and marketed as "Bee Breathing" and "Humming Breath" without crediting where it comes from. When you see anyone promoting any Pranayama with such new brand names, write a note below it in comments, without sounding argumentative or offensive, about its true origins. Explain to the audience how, by not telling people about its true origins, they are being kept ignorant of the complete and right way to do it, as well as in the dark about so many other methods they may benefit from.

"A Low Salt Diet Causes Insulin Resistance & High Blood Pressure." Dr Ben Bikman, PhD "A Physician Should Never Tell A Patient To 'Cut Back On Salt'...This Causes Higher Insulin & Higher Blood Pressure." Salt Is The 2nd Major Constituent In The Body & We Need Salt At All Times. When salt intake is restricted, the body activates hormonal systems to retain sodium & cause insulin resistance: 🛞 Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS): Restricting sodium causes the body to release hormones like renin, aldosterone & angiotensin II to help retain sodium. This increases insulin resistance. 🛞 Increased stress hormones: Low sodium intake increases the body's levels of stress hormones, such as noradrenaline. Elevated levels of these hormones cause insulin resistance. 🛞 Reduced blood flow to muscles: A drop in blood volume due to sodium restriction reduces blood flow to skeletal muscles. This impairs the delivery of insulin & glucose to muscle tissue, worsening insulin resistance. 🛞 Increased insulin levels: The body responds to salt restriction by increasing fasting insulin levels as a compensatory measure to retain sodium. This is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. 5 Ways Insulin Resistance Causes High Blood Pressure: 🛞 Sodium & water retention: When insulin resistance occurs, the pancreas produces excess insulin to manage blood sugar. The high levels of insulin overstimulate the kidneys to reabsorb more sodium & water, which increases blood volume & raises blood pressure. 🛞 Vascular dysfunction: Healthy insulin signaling promotes the production of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule that relaxes blood vessels & improves blood flow. In an insulin-resistant state, this process is halted & blood pressure rises to dangerous levels. 🛞 Increased sympathetic nervous system activity: High insulin levels overstimulate the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the body's "fight or flight" response. This increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels & activates the RAAS system, which further promotes sodium & water retention. 🛞 Chronic inflammation & oxidative stress: Insulin resistance causes low-grade chronic inflammation & oxidative stress throughout the body. These processes damage the lining of blood vessels (the endothelium). 🛞 Vascular stiffening: Over time, the chronic inflammation & other issues leads to arterial remodeling & stiffening. This makes arteries less flexible & more resistant to blood flow, forcing the heart to pump harder & elevating blood pressure. Salt is not created equal....table salt is highly processed & toxic. The chemical processing of table salt strips it of all minerals, leaving only isolated sodium chloride. Table salt is bleached & then ingredients like sodium ferrocyanide, ammonium citrate, aluminium silicate, sugar(dextrose) & anticaking agents are added. Healthy salt is unrefined mineral salt...unprocessed celtic or grey salt that retains all of the 80+ trace minerals. Seek out ones that are microplastic, heavy metals & contaminant free. 👇Sodium Restriction Causes Insulin Resistance👇 👇Low Salt Diet Increases Insulin Resistance👇 👇Insulin Resistance Causes Hypertension👇 Speaker: Dr Benjamin Bikman, PhD

Dr. Benjamin Bikman drops a bombshell on high blood pressure, infertility, and erectile dysfunction that flips conventional medicine on its head: “High blood pressure is almost a guarantee of insulin resistance — the overwhelmingly most common cause.” He goes further: - Erectile dysfunction in men is often the earliest visible sign of insulin resistance — blood vessels can no longer dilate properly, making erections impossible. -PCOS (the leading cause of infertility in women) is at its core a metabolic disorder driven by insulin resistance — even in lean women who “look healthy” and don’t meet standard insulin resistance criteria. - Scratch beneath the surface, and insulin resistance is already present at the fat cell level — the true origin point. Science nugget: Insulin resistance begins in adipose (fat) tissue long before it shows up in blood tests. Chronically elevated insulin impairs nitric oxide production (needed for vasodilation), drives ovarian androgen excess in PCOS, and promotes vascular stiffness leading to hypertension and ED. Bottom line: Many “unexplained” conditions aren’t mysterious — they’re downstream effects of insulin resistance hiding in plain sight. What “healthy-looking” symptom or diagnosis in your life (or someone close) might actually be insulin resistance in disguise?

Humming can flood your sinuses with nitric oxide. James Nestor is blunt about it. Nitric oxide helps the body deal with bacteria and viruses and it opens blood vessels. That is the same pathway erectile drugs use. Nose breathing already gives you about six times more than mouth breathing. Humming, he says, multiplies it again, about fifteen-fold. So if your face is stuffed, or a cold is starting, he tells you to hum on purpose. The move is simple. Keep the mouth closed. Inhale through the nose. On the exhale, hum a low note so the vibration sits in the face, not the throat. A song works. A single “mmm” works. A few minutes is enough. You should feel it in the cheeks and behind the nose. There is no clean clinical trial. He says that. What he has is his own experience and hundreds of people who felt the pressure move. Your sinuses already make the gas. The hum just shakes more of it into the air you inhale.

"All Cured Meats Are Good For You...If You Are Avoiding Nitrates In Meat, You Are Misinformed." Dr Nathan Bryan, PhD "You Shouldn't Avoid Nitrate Cured Meats, They Are Perfectly Safe." Nitrates in meat do not cause cancer. Here's the real science behind nitrites & nitrosamines. Dietary Sources of Nitrates & Nitrites... 80% of nitrate we consume comes from vegetables: Spinach 2,036 mg of nitrates per kg Lettuce 1,079 mg of nitrates per kg Celery 1,103 mg of nitrates per kg -vs- Bacon 178 mg of nitrates per kg Salami 69 mg of nitrates per kg Ham 21 mg of nitrates per kg Nature Knows Best & Curing Meat Mimics That Process: The high amount of nitrates in vegetables never turn to cancer causing nitrosamines because naturally occurring vitamin C within the vegetables BLOCKS & NEUTRALIZES the nitrosamines. This process is copied when meat is commercially cured. All cured meat has vitamin C added during the nitrate/nitrite curing process...rendering any resulting nitrosamine conversion completely BLOCKED & NEUTRALIZED. Cured meats have been unjustly vilified for decades, causing people to fear them, when in fact they are healthy & needed for Nitric Oxide (NO) production. The body produces nitric oxide from the amino acid L-arginine & nitrates found in food. Nitric Oxide is crucial for Cardiovascular Health, Oral & Gut Microbiome Health, Blood Pressure, Circulation, Muscle Health & Nitric Oxide is required for proper Brain Function. Uncured & Nitrate/Nitrite Free Meat Products: These products are an expensive & wasted marketing ploy put out by Big Food. They make money from capitalizing off of the decades of lies that consumers believe, in order to sell a much more costly product that actually contains 5X MORE nitrates from celery as the 'curing' agent & the curing process to convert the celery nitrates into sodium nitrite. The End Result From Vegetable Sourced & Meat Sourced Nitrates: Both vegetables & cured meats have negligible to zero nitrosamines because of the neutralizing protective effect from Vitamin C. Whether that be naturally occurring in vegetables, added to the meat curing process, or included elsewhere in the daily diet as antioxidant protection from harmful nitrosamines. The Summary Conclusion Is To Enjoy All Nitrate Containing Foods Without Fear Of Cancer Because We Require Nitrates & Nitric Oxide For Vital Health: Cardiovascular health: blood pressure regulation, endothelial function, blood vessels, crucial for proper vascular function, preventive of heart attack & stroke. Athletic performance: increased muscle function, strength & oxygen efficiency. Added benefits: anti-inflammatory, immune system function, improved renal & liver function, cognitive function, antidiabetic effects from glucose control & insulin sensitivity. 👇Vitamin C Neutralizes Nitrosamines👇 👇Therapeutic Health: Nitrates & Nitrites In Foods👇 👇Nitrates & Nitrites Promote Vibrant Health👇 Speaker: Dr Nathan Bryan, PhD Podcast: DiaryOfaCEO Steven Bartlett

Dietary Sources of Nitrates & Nitrites... 80% of nitrate we consume comes from vegetables: Spinach 2,036 mg of nitrates per kg Lettuce 1,079 mg of nitrates per kg Celery 1,103 mg of nitrates per kg -vs- Bacon 178 mg of nitrates per kg Salami 69 mg of nitrates per kg Ham 21 mg of nitrates per kg Nature Knows Best & Curing Meat Mimics That Process: The high amount of nitrates in vegetables never turn to cancer causing nitrosamines because naturally occurring vitamin C within the vegetables BLOCKS & NEUTRALIZES the nitrosamines. This process is copied when meat is commercially cured. All cured meat has vitamin C added during the nitrate/nitrite curing process...rendering any resulting nitrosamine conversion completely BLOCKED & NEUTRALIZED. Cured meats have been unjustly vilified for decades, causing people to fear them, when in fact they are healthy & needed for Nitric Oxide (NO) production. The body produces nitric oxide from the amino acid L-arginine & nitrates found in food. Nitric Oxide is crucial for Cardiovascular Health, Oral & Gut Microbiome Health, Blood Pressure, Circulation, Muscle Health & Nitric Oxide is required for proper Brain Function. Uncured & Nitrate/Nitrite Free Meat Products: These products are an expensive & wasted marketing ploy put out by Big Food. They make money from capitalizing off of the decades of lies that consumers believe, in order to sell a much more costly product that actually contains 5X MORE nitrates from celery as the 'curing' agent & the curing process to convert the celery nitrates into sodium nitrite. The End Result From Vegetable Sourced & Meat Sourced Nitrates: Both vegetables & cured meats have negligible to zero nitrosamines because of the neutralizing protective effect from Vitamin C. Whether that be naturally occurring in vegetables, added to the meat curing process, or included elsewhere in the daily diet as antioxidant protection from harmful nitrosamines. The Summary Conclusion Is To Enjoy All Nitrate Containing Foods Without Fear Of Cancer Because We Require Nitrates & Nitric Oxide For Vital Health: Cardiovascular health: blood pressure regulation, endothelial function, blood vessels, crucial for proper vascular function, preventive of heart attack & stroke. Athletic performance: increased muscle function, strength & oxygen efficiency. Added benefits: anti-inflammatory, immune system function, improved renal & liver function, cognitive function, antidiabetic effects from glucose control & insulin sensitivity. 👇Vitamin C Neutralizes Nitrosamines👇 👇Therapeutic Health: Nitrates & Nitrites In Foods👇 👇Nitrates & Nitrites Promote Vibrant Health👇 Speaker: Dr Nathan Bryan, PhD Podcast: DiaryOfaCEO Steven Bartlett

this is really satisfying to watch and listen 🤗 In Bali we call it "Gedebong", what's you call it in your place? Most people toss the banana stem after harvesting the fruit, but this part that called *gedebong* in Bali is actually loaded with goodness. It’s rich in fiber, potassium, vitamin B6, and natural antioxidants. In traditional Asian medicine, it’s been used for ages to support digestion, ease constipation and stomach acidity, and keep your gut happy. Thanks to its natural diuretic effect, it also helps your kidneys flush out toxins, lowers the chance of kidney stones, and supports healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. On top of that, banana stem can help with weight management because it fills you up without many calories, and it helps keep blood sugar steady that great for anyone watching their diabetes. Its antioxidants also give your immune system a boost and calm inflammation. You can drink it as fresh juice, stir-fry it like a vegetable, or add it to soups that we called it "Jukut Ares" in Bali 🌿🍌

Yoga and improved skin health and hair growth? India’s pseudoscience poster boy, Ranveer, aka Beerbiceps gets it embarrassingly wrong. Let us break it down. I am sorry this is lengthy, because – as per Brandolini's Law (aka the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle): It takes a lot more energy to refute bullshit than to produce it. Check out this video. In it, Ranveer “pseudoscience peddler” Allahbadia with over 8 million followers on YouTube and Instagram bullshits everyone in just 35 seconds. He showcases some major female movie celebrities and tells the viewers that the secret to their skin and hair is that they perform Yoga every day, especially a Yoga pose called the “Sarvangasana” or shoulder-stand or candle pose. His “scientific” explanation? The stance increases blood flow the scalp and head, and improves skin health and hair growth. This is utter nonsense. What happens to the blood flow, heart, head, and brain region when someone takes an upside-down stance? For that, you must know the meaning of one word – Homeostasis. Homeostasis is a self-regulating process by which human body maintains internal stability in its organ functions while adjusting to changing external conditions. This is also consists of “autoregulation,” the method by which an organ or tissue maintains blood flow despite a change in perfusion due to external (eg: body position changes) or internal (block in blood vessels) conditions. For example, we are normally supposed to walk on two legs or rest by sitting down or lying down. The heart rate, blood flow to all organs including scalp and brain is all maintained depending on the importance and metabolic activity of that organ. For example, at rest, highest proportion of blood flow is received by the liver (nearly 25% of cardiac output) which is 100ml/min per 100g liver weight. The brain receives 50ml/min per 100g weight, while the skin receives 1 to 3ml per 100g per minute. Organ tissues are usually considered as blood supply-dependent (e.g., heart and brain) and blood supply-independent (e.g., abdominal organs, kidneys, skin, and resting muscle) for oxygen delivery – meaning the latter WILL receive fixed amounts to maintain its functioning while the former requires changes to blood flow depending on various unusual situations. For example, in massive blood loss, the body will try to maintain blood flow into heart and brain rather than skin and muscle to maintain life. The blood flow is set in the body for proper functioning of organs and every time we try to change that flow, a healthy body will re-align that flow depending on the importance of the organ systems functions. So, when you do a shoulder stand or candle pose, the initial sudden change to the body position will be caught by the receptors in the blood vessels and heart which will re-align the flow to organs of importance, thereby maintaining critical functions that are required for health. Which means, the blood flow to the skin including the scalp, will be re-aligned to its required flow and DOES NOT increase to face and scalp or brain as India’s pseudoscience peddler mentions. In heavy aerobic exercise and changes to temperature related sweating or certain disease conditions, the skin blood can increase. Yoga is not a proper exercise as it is not an aerobic activity. Now Sarvangasana and blood flow – a study showed that heart and blood flow responses were NOT AFFECTED with this pose in healthy people. Even a complete head stand, called Sirsasana does not increase blood flow to the brain, forget the scalp skin, because of blood delivery homeostasis due to autoregulatory mechanisms. The claims for effects of Yoga on specific organs are complete bluff – a public duping started by B K S Iyengar who took Yoga to the international stage. Even in his authoritative books, he does not mention shoulder stand or candle pose to be useful for hair growth. In fact, he [nonsensically] mentions that shoulder stand will improve “thyroid health” (it does not), controls asthma (it does not), reduces disease of the throat (it does not) and prevents common cold (it does not, because common cold is caused by a virus, and not dependent on whether you stand, sit, lie down, and hang yourself upside down). Also, note that Sarvangasana (shoulder stand), Sirsasana (head stand) and Padmasana (lotus position) are the most common Yoga poses reported to cause an injury. In those with high blood pressure or heart disease, these poses may become life threatening. You can see those here here and here Yoga, especially shoulder or head stands do not improve skin health or increase hair growth by increasing blood flow. In fact, Yoga does nothing specific for organ systems functions since such evidence does not exist. A lot of pseudoscience peddlers who sympathize with Yoga will mislead you with many such magical benefits. So then, what specific exercise or action improves hair growth? We do not really know. There is some evidence, even though weak, for standardized scalp massages: good evidence for scalp cooling (prevents hair loss, may promote regrowth especially in chemotherapy patients) Speak with your Dermatologist on skin and hair health queries and not National-level baby-face poster boys of misinformation.

Heart disease is the number 1 cause of death. Mainstream advice like cutting fat, red meat and taking statins isn’t working... They don’t fix the real causes of heart disease. Here are the top 6 science-backed supplements to reduce your risk of heart disease (bookmark this):👇 1. Nattokinase. This enzyme helps dissolve blood clots and plaque by breaking down fibrin. There aren't even meds that can reverse plaque buildup. Take 10,000 FU every day. 2. Magnesium glycinate. Magnesium relaxes blood vessel walls, allowing them to dilate and improve blood flow. It also reduces blood pressure and calms your nervous system. But most Americans are deficient in it. Take 400-500mg before bed. 3. Fish oil (Omega-3s). They reduce inflammation that damages your arteries and lower triglycerices. They can even lower blood pressure by improving arterial elasticity. Take 2-3g of combined EPA/DHA daily. 4. CoQ10. Your heart beats 100,000 times per day and requires massive amounts of energy. CoQ10 fuels your cardiac muscle cells, protects against oxidative damage and improves endothelial function. Your levels naturally drop with age. Take 200-300mg every day. 5. Vitamin D3. Vitamin D deficiency stiffens arteries and impairs endothelial function. Most Americans are deficient yet the healthcare system completely ignores it. Take 5,000-10,000 IUs daily with a meal containing fat and get more sunlight. Aim for blood levels of 50-70 ng/mL. 6. Vitamin K2. It activates a protein called MGP that keeps calcium out of your arteries where it becomes plaque and sends it to your bones. Take 100-200mcg of the MK-7 form every day. You can also get some in organ meats, red meat and aged cheeses. Lifestyle changes with your: - Nutrition - Exercise - Sleep & stress levels Are what's most important to reduce your risk of heart disease but these supplements significantly help.
