Some Things That Raise Nitric Oxide

You may have heard that Viagra works by raising levels of nitric oxide, which helps erections. But there are other ways of raising nitric oxide levels. Here are some ways to raise nitric oxide levels, which will presumably help your blood vessels and improve erections:

• Take a sauna. Several articles (THIS LINK) show that saunas can raise nitric oxide levels. A hot bath may do the same thing. I found that taking a bath every day helped me after 1 week!
• Get acupuncture, which some authors suggest raises nitric oxide levels in areas near to where acupuncture needles are used (LINK HERE). My guess is that massage would have the same effect.
• Take fish oil (omega 3) (LINK HERE).
• Drink green tea (LINK HERE)
• Take vitamin C

A lot of this research was done in people or animals with blood vessel problems due to conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, or diabetes. What is interesting is that a lot of tradition approaches - such as saunas - seem to have a scientific reason for improving health. As with all advice on this site, talk to your doctor before you try anything.
