Ready to live at the higher vibrations where peace, love, joy, and good health are the daily standard?

That's what this show is all about. Welcome to Vibe. And here's your host, Robin Openshaw.

Do you believe increasing nitric oxide is good for your health? Hey, I'm Robin OpenShaw,

the green smoothie you're online, and today I'm your Cliff's notes

on the current trend to take drugs or supplements to get more nitric oxide.

Take Viagra for a six-hour erection.

Take non-prescription supplements for the nitric oxide pump for extra energy at the gym. But especially

guys who are doing both of those things, since nitric oxide is being pitched for sexual performance

and for performance in sports are working out, especially if they're using both, one of the

sexual performance drugs and one of the workout performance supplements,

many men may not realize what a strain they're putting on their body, and thousands of guys

have had heart attacks and even died from increasing nitric oxide. I don't think men know this,

and I also don't think young men are really the demographic who watches my videos,

but their mothers are. And I think you ladies and you parents would be surprised to know how

many nitric oxide increasing supplements young men are being marketed to and are taking.

We actually need to build up a tolerance for nitric oxide, which is a waste product of the body that we need to coexist with and balance, rather than doing that uniquely American thing of thinking that if you get a short-term effect from something, then more of it is always better. I even saw an interview with a PhD who talked about how because nitric oxide has been discovered

to be useful for athletic performance, everyone should eat more sausage and bacon and pepperoni

because they're cured with nitrates.

The evidence on how many ways processed meat cured with nitrites and nitrates are bad for

you and in fact cause cancer is decades worth of published evidence.

It's an avalanche of evidence.

And that's well beyond the scope of this video.
