Tip of the Week: Nitric oxide (NO) is essential for healthy blood vessels. Unfortunately , our bodys' ability to product NO decreases with age. But the good news is you can boost the NO flowing through your blood vessels by CHEWING leafy greens (not ground up in a smoothie). Leafy greens - especially kale, Swiss chard, spinach, arugula, beet greens, mustard greens, Napa cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and beets - have natural nitrates that the body converts to nitrites when chewed and eventually to NO. The greens can be eaten raw or cooked but must be chewed!
