How long do I need to work out to increase Nitric Oxide production?

You’ll like the answer to this question: not very long. Any amount of exercise increases Nitric Oxide (NO) production, whether you take a 10-minute walking break during your workday or run a 10k on a Saturday morning. Even walking up stairs or across the parking lot supports NO levels.

Any form of movement increases blood flow, resulting in what’s known as “shear stress” on the blood vessels. Shear stress stimulates the endothelium, the organ responsible for producing NO. This stimulation—caused by any amount of movement—encourages the endothelial cells to produce more NO. As you may know, NO is an important molecule with many functions in the body that increase blood flow, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues. While…

How long do I need to work out to increase Nitric Oxide production?

You’ll like the answer to this question: not very long. Any amount of exercise increases Nitric Oxide (NO) production, whether you take a 10-minute walking break during your workday or run a 10k on a Saturday morning. Even walking up stairs or across the parking lot supports NO levels.

Any form of movement increases blood flow, resulting in what’s known as “shear stress” on the blood vessels. Shear stress stimulates the endothelium, the organ responsible for producing NO. This stimulation—caused by any amount of movement—encourages the endothelial cells to produce more NO. As you may know, NO is an important molecule with many functions in the body that increase blood flow, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues. While NO is necessary to nearly every organ in the body, healthy NO levels are especially critical to maintaining heart health.

To clarify, the amount of exercise you do is related to the amount of NO you’re producing. While you can bump up your NO levels by walking, you can really increase NO production by working out for a longer period of time, such as an hour jog. A minimum of 2.5 hours of moderate exercise per week is what I recommend, but if you can do more, that’s even better.

The best part of all is that regular exercise contributes to NO production all day long, even when you’re not working out. Along with a healthy, balanced diet, moving often and regularly is a natural way to support the health of your endothelium, boost NO levels and support heart health.

What else are you doing to increase NO production? Please share with me in the comments.

Dr. Lou Ignarro Answers Your Heart Health Questions – Omega-3s and Lifestyle

 

I’m back to answer your questions related to the Heart Health Initiative, a mission to educate the world about heart health and give people the tools to lead heart-healthy lives. I’ve chosen two questions from the comments at HeartHealthInitiative.com that I’ll be answering.

Which Herbalife products contain Omega-3 fatty acids? Can you explain more about the products?

Herbalife has several outstanding products that contribute to the health of the entire cardiovascular system.* I take supplements from the cardio line daily. The supplements that contain Omega-3s includeHerbalifeline® and Tri-Shield®. Tri-Shield® specifically contains the Omega-3 from Neptune Krill Oil (NKO®†).

Herbalifeline® contains an exclusive blend of highly refined marine lipids and Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA. The Omega-3 fatty acids in Herbalifeline® help to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system by maintaining cholesterol and triglyceride levels already within normal range.* Tri-Shield® has a proprietary formula with 100 percent pure Neptune Krill Oil (NKO®†), and the three heart-healthy compounds in Tri-Shield® help support your heart.*

Taking Herbalifeline® and Tri-Shield® is a great way to support the health of the cardiovascular system. I recommend all of the other supplements in the cardio line, too.

What are a few lifestyle changes someone can make to help maintain a healthy heart?

There are simple changes anyone can make to support the health of the heart: Eat a healthy and varied diet. Get the recommended two and a half hours of exercise each week. Get plenty of sleep each and every night. Find ways to reduce stress.

And if you’d like more information on how to support heart health, you can regularly visit HeartHealthInitiative.com.

Thanks for continuing to ask great questions. Please keep the comments coming; I plan to respond to more questions in future.

How Does Dutch Swim Coach Jacco Verhaeren Guide His Athletes with Herbalife Nutrition?

How Does Dutch Swim Coach Jacco Verhaeren Guide His Athletes with Herbalife Nutrition?

Dutch swim coach Jacco Verhaeren shares behind-the-scenes knowledge about what it takes to train Olympic gold medalist swimmers and the importance of proper nutrition in the sport of swimming.

In this video, John Heiss, Ph. D., Director of Sports and Fitness, Worldwide Product Marketing at Herbalife, finds himself in Eindhoven, Netherlands at the well-known Swim Academy (Pieter van den Hoogenbad Zwemstadion) to speak with Jacco about his life as a swim coach.

First, Jacco takes Dr. Heiss on a tour of the stadium and discusses the evolution of what it means to be a swim coach. Jacco remembers when he first began coaching one of the tools he used to help swimmers train was a stopwatch. He used it to track and help implement swimmer’s time goals. Times have changed. Training equipment is now smarter and more accurate in helping swimmers achieve certain goals. The advanced system monitors everything from the power of a start push-up to angles to changes in swimming. Behind the information is a group of coaches, like Jacco, scientists, and doctors to help swimmers improve their technics and face new challenges in the aquatic sport.

Now the science behind swimming is important. But, the nutrition of the athlete involved in the water sport is equally crucial. Jacco emphasizes the importance of hydration and how it’s easy for swimmers to be unaware about the fluids they’re losing when being active in the water. That’s where Herbalife24 comes in—to help the athletes recover and prepare for their routine.

Swimmers are athletes, 24-hours a day, therefore they need to consume the same nutrients as other sportsmen. Whether they’re lifting weights in the morning, or testing their endurance at night, Jacco says products like Herbalife24 Prolong, Herbalife24 Formula 1 Sport, and Herbalife24 Hydrate support athletes’ performance and recovery period. Assuring that his athletes consume proper nutrition is part of his job as a swim coach to the Netherlands national swimming team.

Herbalife24, developed by John Heiss, Ph.D., is balanced performance nutrition, made to help athletes prepare, perform, and recover during their daily sporting activities. To find out more information about Herbalife24, go to:http://herbal-nutrition.net/dhurandhar
