In mammals nitric oxide acts as a signalling molecule in many physiological processes and it was awarded the “Molecule of the Year” in 1992. In fact, the Nobel Prize for medicine and physiology was awarded to two scientists in 1998 for their important discovery that the nitric oxide molecule is important for creating signals between nerves and blood vessel cells in the cardiovascular system.
The foods highest in the raw materials, namely nitrate, needed by the human body to synthesize nitric oxide are green leafy vegetables and certain tubers. Spinach has one of the very highest concentrations of nitrate as do beets and beet greens. It is interesting to note that spinach and beets are in the same plant family! So, as it turns out, Popeye’s favorite food really can make you strong!
If you dont feel like eating a mountain of greens to get your NO just soak in a tub of Naneau NO water!
