Book Yes NO

Description : Dr. Louis J. Ignarro, a Nobel Prize-winning physician, discovered the "molecule" of cardiovascular health - nitric oxide. NO is a signaling molecule that is produced in the body and acts as a vasodilator, allowing blood flow to be regulated in every part of the body. The first practical application of Dr. Ignarro's research led to the development of Viagra. NO relaxes and dilates blood vessels, prevents the formation of blood clots that are the cause of heart attack or stroke, regulates blood pressure and the accumulation of plaques in blood vessels.

He has now put together a program to increase the cardiovascular system's resistance to aging, which involves keeping the bloodstream clean and elastic through increased NO production. The program is not demanding, and no major lifestyle changes are necessary when following it. It involves the use of dietary supplements to stimulate NO production, a diet containing NO-boosting foods and a low-impact exercise program.

Dr. Louis J. Ignarro is a Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine. He was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his research on nitric oxide.

Excerpt from the introduction:

The book The Yes NO Program will help expand your knowledge of NO (nitric oxide). Our discoveries can help many millions of people protect their heart and vascular system, even those already affected by heart disease. If we can eradicate heart disease in the foreseeable future, many lives could be saved.

I have written the book, The Yes NO Program, to pass on vital information that will enable you to live a long and vibrant life. If you follow my simple, tried-and-tested regimen for raising your body's nitric oxide production, which I have called Yes NO, you will take the first steps toward making both heart attack and stroke a thing of the past. Soon, I believe, the incidence of cardiovascular disease in general will be reduced in a way that medical science did not predict even in the most optimistic estimates even a decade ago.

If you embark on my three-part program to help your cardiovascular system defy age by increasing NO production, you can lower your blood pressure and maintain the patency and elasticity of your vascular system. Without having to fundamentally change your lifestyle, you'll nourish every cell in your body - simply by incorporating NO-friendly foods into your diet, taking targeted nutritional supplements, and following a moderate, non-strenuous fitness program tailored to your health and your fitness level.

Each individual part of the program on its own has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, but when combined with the Yes NO program, through a process called synergy, the effect achieved is very powerful. Figuratively speaking, in this case, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts - each component of the program not only contributes to the production of NO itself, but also supports the ability of the other components to increase its production.
