Louis Ignarro, Ph.D.'s discovery of Nitric Oxide-NO-a signaling molecule produced by the body, led to his winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1998. His discovery of NO led to numerous improvements in vascular care and an entirely new class of drugs that include Viagra.

NO, which benefits the cardiovascular system in numerous ways, can be tapped effectively without medication. Some extremely simple life changes, including breathing in through one's nose rather than one's mouth, activate Nitric Oxide and its benefits. A vasodilator, NO helps control blood flow to every part of the body. It relaxes and enlarges blood vessels, prevents clots that can trigger strokes and heart attacks, regulates blood pressure and controls the accumulation of plaque in blood vessels. It can boost the effectiveness of statins, and delay the need for them.

NO is an age-proofer for the cardiovascular network, keeping it clean and elastic and helping make exercise more effective. In NO MORE HEART DISEASE, Ignarro lays out a simple non-invasive plan that includes breath training, supplements, foods that are NO-friendly and a targeted exercise program.
