HOW NITRIC OXIDE CAN PREVENT OR REVERSE HEART DISEASE

In almost every country Coronary Heart Disease or one or more forms of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is listed in the top 5 leading causes of death.

Over a Billion people worldwide suffer from one or more forms of Cardiovascular Disease which includes all the diseases of the heart and circulation including coronary heart disease, angina, heart attack, congenital heart disease and stroke.

IS HEART DISEASE A LIFESTYLE DISEASE?

Heart Disease can be called a lifestyle disease that is caused by poor eating habits, smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, lack of physical activity, stress, lack of sleep and pollution.

ARTERIAL INFLAMMATION

Newer scientific research has now shown that the real cause of heart disease is arterial inflammation. The processed foods we eat, aging in general, stress, and pollution cause an inflammatory reaction on a cellular level in the arterial wall.

Inflammation is the body’s protective response to irritation or injury. The same healing mechanism that helps a paper cut heal is the same response inside the arterial wall that’s clogging our arteries. It’s an immune response.

NITRIC OXIDE TO THE RESCUE

It turns out, many lives could be saved from heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular disease if more people were to discover the miracle properties of Nitric Oxide (NO).

Nitric Oxide Widens Your Arteries &
Increases Blood Flow to Your Body’s Cells

 

SO WHAT IS NITRIC OXIDE (NO), ANYWAY?

 

Nitric Oxide (NO) is regarded as the most significant molecule in the body. It influences the functioning and well-being of the entire body.

Some people think nitric oxide is the laughing gas at the dentist clinic (That’s nitrous oxide by the way). Some people think nitric oxide is the fuel racing car drivers use to make their cars go faster, while others think it’s the key ingredient in dynamite. But it’s neither. Nitric oxide is derived naturally from arginine — more on that amino acid in a minute.

A NOBEL PRIZE IN MEDICINE

Our scientific understanding of this important ‘miracle molecule‘ for fighting cardiovascular disease stepped up back in 1998 when three American scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discovery that the body uses the gas molecule Nitric Oxide (NO) to relax and widen blood vessels — a finding that is helping millions and millions of people in the prevention and treatment of heart disease.

HERE’S WHAT NOBEL LAUREATE IN MEDICINE, DR. LOUIS J. IGNARRO SAID ON NITRIC OXIDE:
“Though NO’s structure is simple, nitric oxide is now regarded as the most significant molecule in the body, absolutely crucial to your well-being. I am convinced that the nitric oxide can age-proof your cardiovascular system, keeping it much fitter than your chronological age would indicate.” “Repairing the damage wrought by cardiovascular disease without risky and often ineffective surgery had long been considered impossible. I was awarded the noble prize in Medicine for making that thinking obsolete. Now we know we can reverse cardiovascular impairment naturally – with the body’s internally manufactured ‘wonder drug’ nitric oxide.”Louis Ignarro, Ph.D., Nobel Laureate in Medicine (1998) and author 'No More Heart Disease'
 

CARDIOVASCULAR AGE-PROOFING

NITRIC OXIDE PRODUCTION IN THE ENDOTHELIUM

The nitric oxide the body produces influences the function of virtually every bodily organ, including heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach and sexual organs. It is manufactured in the body in the endothelium — the layer of cells lining the interior surface of blood vessels that separate the blood from the smooth muscle walls.

UNCLOGGING ARTERIES AND REGULATING BLOOD PRESSURE

In a healthy endothelium (inner wall of a blood vessel), nitric oxide will keep blood vessels pliable and elastic, free of the plaque that causes heart attack and stroke. It maintains normal blood pressure by relaxing arteries, helping them dilate (open up) and to keep blood flowing smoothly. It keeps the platelets and white blood cells calm and prevents them from sticking to the vessel wall like Velcro.

PREVENTING OXIDATION AND SUPPRESSING ATHEROSCLEROSIS

Nitric oxide prevents oxidation, slows plaque growth, suppresses atherosclerosis (build-up of cholesterol, fat, and calcium) in your arteries, and melts away existing plaque.

 

As You Age You Lose Up to 85% of Nitric Oxide. This Leads to Disease & Aging Infirmities
What’s more, as we age our body becomes less efficient at producing nitric oxide by up to 85%. Your arteries become stiffer and blood flow is forced through a smaller space raising blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

To offset this you can increase nitric oxide through exercise and a healthy NO-friendly diet. But given our appetite for low nutrient junk food and leading a sedentary lifestyle, an increasingly popular way is by supplementing using the amino acids L-Arginine and L-Citrulline in synergy with numerous of other natural nutrients to efficiently boost the body’s levels of nitric oxide production.

REPAIR CARDIOVASCULAR IMPAIRMENT NATURALLY

Medically published clinical studies have shown scientifically that Nitric Oxide created by arginine will do the following:

  • Widen the blood vessels (increasing blood flow throughout the body)
  • Soften the blood vessels (reversing the hardening of the arteries)
  • Relax the blood vessels (overcoming most high blood pressure)
  • Inhibit and melt away plaque (preventing and reversing atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke and peripheral artery disease)
  • Decreases blood pressure
  • Improves outcome after bypass surgery
  • Lowers elevated serum triglyceride levels
  • Improves diabetes and reverses damage caused by diabetes
  • Improves pituitary responsiveness and modulates the hormonal control
  • Improves asthma
  • improves Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Improves osteoporosis
  • Reduces ulcers
  • Improves the outcome of cancer treatment
  • Improves Alzheimer’s
  • Improves long-term and short-term memory and cognitive functions
  • Improves prostate function
  • Improves sexual function, libido, performance, and satisfaction in both men and women
  • Improves renal (kidney) function
  • Alleviates cirrhosis, helps to detoxify the liver, and liver malfunction can occur as a result of arginine deficiency
  • Alleviates obesity and facilitates weight loss (stimulating the release of human growth hormone from the pituitary gland)
  • Improves muscle performance
  • Increases human growth hormone (anti-aging)
  • Increases your energy levels to a more youthful state

Based on Nobel Prize winning research, Activ Greens supplies the body with two vital amino acids, L-Arginine and L-Citrulline, which research shows can prevent and even reverse cardiovascular impairment as well as age-proof the cardiovascular system by naturally boosting the production of the powerful neurotransmitter Nitric Oxide in the body.

HOW ARGININE = NITRIC OXIDE

Proteins are a key building block material which is crucial for the maintenance of the body’s tissue, the formation of muscles and organs, wound healing, energy and the regulation and movement of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

When you eat protein-rich foods like red meat, fish, chicken, tofu, egg whites, and nuts, your digestive enzymes in your small intestines break them down into amino acid compounds. L-arginine and L-citrulline are two of them.

HOW DOES L-ARGININE WORK?

Arginine is a naturally produced amino acid that enhances blood flow and improves the efficiency of the endothelial cells because it is converted to NO in the body. It also helps in the prevention of atherosclerosis (blockage of the arteries).

When arginine is consumed in foods (red meat, fish, chicken, beans, soy, nuts) or taken in supplement form, it makes its way into the bloodstream and circulates throughout the body. As it enters the endothelial cells that line the smooth muscle walls of blood vessels, an enzymatic reaction occurs that converts arginine to nitric oxide. As the levels of arginine rise in the body so do your production of nitric oxide, which in turn can have a dramatic and positive effect on your cardiovascular health.

Today there are over 100,000 written and published clinical research studies attesting to the fact that the amino acid l-arginine enables your body to regulate all aspects of its cardiovascular function.

HOW DOES L-CITRULLINE WORK?

L-citrulline is an amino acid and is closely related to L-arginine. It promotes energy, stimulates the immune system, and detoxifies ammonia, which damages cells. It is found in protein-rich foods and watermelon rinds (not as much in the red stuff).

In your body, L-citrulline is converted into L-arginine, which in turn significantly increases the production of nitric oxide.

But here’s the thing, it is the synergy between L-arginine and L-citrulline and key antioxidants that create dramatic increases in your body’s NO production.

WHAT OTHER EXPERTS ARE SAYING

“I believe that L-Arginine is the single most important discovery in the preventing heart disease that I have seen during the course of my medical career. Of course, there are many treatments for heart disease, but I haven’t seen anything as effective.” “We cannot ignore the power of L-Arginine anymore. Heart Disease is the number one killer in our country for both men and women. The main factors are arteriosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, and atherosclerosis, buildup on the arterial lining. L-Arginine reverses both problems.”Joe Prendergast, Ph.D., co-author 'The Arginine Solution' (with Woodson Merrell, MD)
 
“In the field of medicine and health, it is one of the revolutions of our time: The discovery that the amino acid arginine may be a “Magic Bullet” for the cardiovascular system. Now, as the evidence amounts, including research that won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, more and more scientist and doctors see the extraordinary health benefits of increasing arginine intake. A virtual arterial cleanser, arginine helps eliminate blockage and maintain blood flow.”Jonathan S. Stamler, M.D., Practicing Endocrinologist
 
“It does everything, everywhere. You cannot name a major cellular response or physiological effect in which [nitric oxide] is not implicated today. It’s involved in complex behavioral changes in the brain, airway relaxation, beating of the heart, dilation of blood vessels, regulation of intestinal movement, the function of blood cells, the immune system, even how fingers and arms move.”Robert Fried, Ph.D., co-author 'The Arginine Solution' (with Woodson Merrell, MD)
