In 1992, nitric oxide was proclaimed molecule of the year by the journal Science and was described as a startlingly simple molecule which unites neuroscience, physiology, and immunology, and revises scientists' understanding of how cells communicate and defend themselves.
In 1998, Robert F Furchgott, Louis J Ignarro and Ferid Murad were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery that the gas nitric oxide is an important signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system.320,331 When I first began to read about the benefits of nitric oxide I was astounded as to how one simple gas could influence all major systems and organs, help keep us free from disease including cancer, promote a longer life, and even perform better in bed.
Strangely, despite these life-changing attributes, it seems that few people outside of the field of medicine are aware of this gas and its tremendous benefits to health. Of the hundreds of people I have spoken to with high blood pressure, poor cardiovascular health, asthma, and other ailments, not one of them was aware of the existence of nitric oxide.
When it comes to nasal breathing and breath hold exercises, Nitric Oxide plays an important role. Nitric oxide is produced inside the nasal cavity and the lining of the thousands of miles of blood vessels throughout the body.
