Narrower blood vessels
Poor circulation
Elevated blood pressure
And yes this can happen even if you have cut down on salt or you’re taking your medication faithfully.
Good News: You Can Support Nitric Oxide Naturally
Here’s how to give your body the raw materials it needs to improve nitric oxide production and support healthy blood pressure:
1. Eat Nitrate-Rich Foods (Natural NO boosters):
Beetroot / Beet juice
Spinach, arugula (rocket), lettuce
Celery, cabbage
2. Get Citrulline & Arginine from Food:
pumpkin seeds, nuts, fish, turkey
These amino acids are building blocks for nitric oxide.
3. Antioxidants Are Your Friends:
Vitamin C (citrus, bell peppers)
Vitamin E (avocados, sunflower seeds)
They protect nitric oxide from being destroyed by oxidative stress.
4. Exercise Often
Even a brisk walk improves nitric oxide levels and vascular health.
5. Watch Blood Sugar
Insulin resistance reduces NO production. A stable blood sugar = better vessel function.
If you are battling hypertension and ignoring nitric oxide, you are missing a major piece of the puzzle.
Start supporting your blood pressure from the inside . by giving your blood vessels what they need to function properly.
It’s not just about cutting salt it’s about supporting the biology behind blood flow.
