The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List
This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.
Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.
Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

I will use grapes to obtain that boost.
Sour Cherries are a punishment, worse even than Crabapples.
Whenever I think of beets, I think of that intense crimson that is hard to remove. I like picked beets once in a while.

"And, despite the ability of L-citrulline to boost nitric oxide production in the body, consuming watermelon (high in L-citrulline) did not boost exercise performance. "I read, don't remember where, that most of the citrulline is in the rind part of the melon, and in the pink part near the rind.

I wonder how sour plums would fare. They were a potent staple for samurai. “Umeboshi”

you can also buy nitric oxide supplements- i took them for awhile- they did help a bit- nothing to write home about in my experience, but you could definitely feel a bit of difference-

Pine bark extract...is the main part of Cholestoff...an over the counter pill for reducing cholesterol.

Next, they will ban the use of performance enhancing natural foods like beetroot.

L-Citrulline (found in watermelon)
Somewhere I recall seeing a Texas A&M study of watermelon to see if the L-Citrulline could be a natural source of the active ingredient in a well-known blue pill.

l citrulline converts into nitric oxide. nitric oxide is what viagra and cialis stimulate the body to make. the sun also stimulates the capillaries beneath the skin to make nitric oxide.
Young people make nitric oxide in abundance but the body’s production in both men and women declines with age.
Nitric oxide is what enables the blood vessels of the body to expand and contract with each contraction of the heart. as nitric oxide levels decline—the blood vessel’s ability to expand and contract declines. Blood pressure rises. This is true for both men and women.
Both men and women need to supplement or otherwise increase their levels of nitric oxide as they get older.

beets increase nitric oxide levels. apparently the nitrates in beets do a better job of this than the l citrulline in watermellons.
Would you argue for a different explanation. That is would you say that beets/grapes/sour cherries/pine bark extract increase performance via a different pathway than nitric oxide?

Sour cherries, pine bark extract, and grapes had polyphenols that were found to directly help preserve the use of nitric acid.
“Similarly, the polyphenols in grapes, cherries and pine bark extract helped protect nitrate from degradation in the body…”
They don't produce nitric acid.
The other items reviewed perform other functions that don't impact the isolated function of nitric acid.

Yes, I saw that report and it is stupid.
They say it is important to still take vitamins and minerals if you are deficient in them.
How do you truly know if you are deficient in them? You practically can't, so we take supplements as an insurance policy because a multivitamin/multimineral is cheaper than future health problems.
I can't believe how stupid those researchers are.

I read that some fat-soluble vitamins can be problematic.
