Nitric oxide (NO) plays a variety of important roles for optimal health. It functions as a signaling molecule and acts as a mediator for respiration.
Benefits of Nitric Oxide Include:
- Vasodilation: Nitric oxide acts as a vasodilator, meaning it relaxes and widens blood vessels, helping to regulate blood flow and maintain healthy blood pressure.
- Neurotransmission: In the central nervous system (CNS), nitric oxide functions as a neurotransmitter involved in synaptic plasticity, which is crucial for learning and memory processes.
- Immune function: Nitric oxide contributes to the immune response by regulating the activity of immune cells and helping to fight against pathogens.
- Cardiovascular health: Nitric oxide is involved in protecting the health of the cardiovascular system by preventing blood clot formation, reducing inflammation, and maintaining the elasticity of blood vessels.
To improve nitric oxide its important to understand the connection between breathing, your jaw and nitric oxide production.
In this episode I discuss nitric oxide with Dr. Scott Simonetti, a dentist & founder of the POD system to help posture, jaw issues, and breathing in his patients. We’re going to discuss the role of NO that takes us deep into mitochondrial energy function, and the connection between nasal breathing and your energy.
