Chapters

So when you eat food that are high in nitrous oxide, such as green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, when you eat it, your saliva, which has bacteria in the mouth, actually processes the nitrate. So when the food goes into your mouth, it become nitrate, and then it goes to your stomach, and then in the stomach lining, the juice, the acid in the stomach lining converted from nitrate to nitrite. And then when it goes to your intestine, it is converted from nitrite to nitric oxide, and then the nitric oxide goes to your blood vessels, and that's where the endothelial cells convert it to nitric oxide. So that way your cells get absorbed and you have increased more blood flow to the organ.
