The role that food plays in my nitric oxide production, what should I we be eating to increase our nitric oxide levels or to keep them at a healthy level? It's not so much what we should be eating. It's what we should not be eating. Okay. So we'll cover those step by step. Number one, you have to avoid sugar and high glycemic index foods. Because sugar is a toxin, it's a poison. And let's think about what sugar is. So when we eat sugar or drink sugar beverages, right, whether it's sucrose, whether it's fructose, whether it's high fructose corn syrup, the end result inside the human is we see an increase in glucose. So elevation in blood sugar or blood glucose is diabetes, right? And now there's continuous glucose monitors that you can get anywhere.

And everybody does this. So if you eat something and it causes an increase in your blood sugar, blood glucose, then you should avoid that. Because glucose, as the name applies, is glue, right? It's sticky. And if you have a soda and you spill it on your countertop, you come back the next day, it's sticky, right? That's what happens inside the body. That sugar sticks to everything. It sticks to proteins. It sticks to enzymes. It binds to hemoglobin. And sugar stuck to hemoglobin is what we call hemoglobin A1C. And what is that? it's a marker of long-term glucose control. If you have hemoglobin A1C of greater than 5.7, you're diabetic.

So it's not just hemoglobin it sticks to, it sticks to the enzyme that makes nitric oxide. And in biochemistry and enzymology, enzymes have to be able to undergo conformational changes, right? So it transfers electrons from one donor to an acceptor and that's how biochemistry is done. But if sugar stuck to that enzyme, It locks it in some confirmation and it can't do its job. For instance, it can't make nitric oxide. So sugar is an absolute poison and it kills many enzymes and binds to everything. And it lowers nitric oxide production. Absolutely. That's why diabetics have a 10-time higher incidence of heart attack, stroke, all-cause mortality. That's why they develop peripheral neuropathy. That's why they have non-healing wounds. There's no nitric oxide. That's why they're developing diabetic retinopathy. macular degeneration, pancreatitis. I mean, all of that can be traced back to a lack of nitric oxide production because the sugar is stuck to the enzyme. The sugar destroys the oral microbiome and completely changes the ecology of ecology of the bacteria and completely shuts down nitric oxide production.
