Celebrate February – the Heart Month! Healthy Heart: Dr Louis Ignarro and Niteworks: Say YES to NO!

February is officially a heart month and heart disease happens to be our leading cause of death. Virtually everyone nowadays will know someone who either has suffered, or still is, from some form of heart disease.

Treatment of heart disease nowadays is merely through the prescription drugs. Not a lot of people have the knowledge about the disease or are encouraged to acquire it to be able to understand the science behind the disease in order to help themselves rather than relying on drugs and treatment for the rest of their lives. The latest breakthrough in medicine suggests that heart disease is a lifestyle disease and, as such, preventable and even reversible with the change in lifestyle, which could mean, for many, longer, quality life without prescription drugs…

It all started with Dr Louis Ignarro, PhD,, who was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery that Nitric Oxide (NO), a signalling molecule produced organically in our bodies, helps to control blood flow to every part of our body and it can be produced organically, within the body by the intake of right kinds of foods and supplements.

Dr Louis Ignarro has discovered that the Nitric Oxide is crucial to our well-being and the difference between health and dysfunction is often the level and activity of Nitric Oxide in our body. Nitric Oxide is critical to the promotion of both your health and longevity as Nitric Oxide deficiency can contribute to nearly every major disease of our times.

This may be the first time you’ve heard of Nitric Oxide, but guaranteed, it will not be the last. As the key to good health, it is the missing link that may make the difference in understanding all kinds of age-related illnesses and circulatory disorders.

Say YES to NO
Nitric Oxide is a gas that acts throughout the body as a messenger and influences the functioning of virtually every organ in the body, including the lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, genitals and, of course, heart.

The cardiovascular system uses Nitric Oxide to control blood flow to every part of the body. Not only can Nitric Oxide relax and dilate (enlarge) the blood vessels, thus ensuring that blood can efficiently nourish the heart and tissues of the entire body, Nitric Oxide can also support healthy blood pressure levels.

The immune system uses Nitric Oxide to combat toxins, providing a strong internal defence system.

The brain relies on Nitric Oxide to store and retrieve long-term memories and to transmit information within the nervous system.

Nitric Oxide enhances blood flow to the genitals, thus playing an important role in normal sexual functioning.

Nitric Oxide is a powerful antioxidant, inactivating so-called “oxygen radicals” (free radicals) in the body that can contribute to cell damage.

A deficiency, therefore, of Nitric Oxide, can have a dramatic impact on our health. A total lifestyle approach to supporting Nitric Oxide levels including a healthy diet, exercise and nutritional supplementation, provides a wide range of benefits throughout the body at the cellular level which can improve circulatory, immune and nervous system function.

In his book, NO More Heart Disease, Dr Louis Ignarro preaches how heart attacks, strokes and cardio vascular disease can become the plague of the past. Here he focuses on how nitric oxide affects the entire vascular system: by relaxing and enlarging blood vessels, NO regulates blood pressure, prevents blood clots that trigger strokes and heart attacks, and protects against the accumulation of vascular plaque.

If you have heart disease or high blood pressure, the information in this book can be truly life changing. The research into NO is ongoing in a number of areas, showing promise in fields in addition to cardiovascular disease. People with (or at risk for) Diabetes, Erectile dysfunction, Rheumatoid arthritis, Cancer, Ulcers, Urinary incontinence, Alzheimer’s disease, Infections, Inflammatory disease (e.g. Chron’s Disease), MS, etc., are already benefiting, or might soon be helped, the ongoing studies of NO.

Dr Louis Ignarro has published numerous articles on his scientific research. He received the Basic Research Prize of the American Heart Association in recognition for his outstanding contributions to cardiovascular health. In 1999 he was inducted in the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

He also is the founder and president of the Nitric Oxide Society, as well as founder and editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Nitric Oxide Biology and Chemistry.

Dr Louis Ignarro’s revolutionary findings have fuelled the creation of NiteWorks™, a night time supplement (as body produces the least amount of Nitric Oxide during the night), exclusive to Herbalife, which uses the benefits of Nitric Oxide in a new and exciting way.

Niteworks brings Cellular Nutrition to the next level.

It is a refreshing lemon-flavoured nightime powder mix that offers the life-enhancing benefits of L-Arginine and L-Citruline that convert to increased Nitric Oxide in the body.

This exclusive product assists with optimum blood flow, thus delivering nutrients to the cellular level to improve function of virtually every organ in your body. Together, Cellular Nutrition and Niteworks allow you to target the nutritional health of your vascular system. Now you can zero in on taking case of your vascular system simply by incorporating this remarkable advancement in nutritional science in your daily life.

It would be difficult to ingest the same amount of L-Arginine from foods as what your body gets from Niteworks. More about Niteworks…
