Want better blood flow, brain performance, and energy?

Nitric Oxide (NO) might be your secret weapon.

Here’s why it matters—and how to boost it naturally (no supplements required):

A Thread 🧵

1. Why Nitric Oxide matters

NO helps:

→ Dilate blood vessels
→ Boost blood flow
→ Enhance nerve signaling
→ Release key hormones

It plays a critical role in brain, muscle, and cardiovascular function.

But most people are unknowingly suppressing it daily.

2. Train hard, move often

Exercise gets your body pumping—and boosts antioxidant activity.

→ More blood flow = more NO
→ Antioxidants protect NO from breaking down
→ High-intensity workouts = even more NO benefits

Movement = flow. Flow = function.

3. Eat nitrate-rich foods

Nitrates = raw material for NO production.

Top natural sources:
→ Celery, spinach, beetroot, lettuce
→ Watermelon, apples, bananas, grapes

Bonus:
Beetroot juice 2–3 hrs pre-workout enhances performance.

4. Mouthwash might be ruining your Nitric Oxide.

Yes, really.

→ Mouthwash kills oral bacteria…
→ Including the good ones that help convert nitrates to NO

Limit frequent use—especially first thing in the morning.

Your mouth is part of the nitric oxide pathway.

5. Most people chase supplements first…

But your body can produce NO naturally—if you give it what it needs:

→ Exercise
→ Nitrate-rich plants
→ Oral microbiome support

Start with lifestyle before pills.

Your blood vessels will thank you.

Summary:

Raise Nitric Oxide, raise your health

Want better workouts, sharper focus, and stronger heart health?

Don’t overlook nitric oxide.

Train smart.
Eat smart.
Skip the unnecessary mouthwash.

Natural performance starts with blood flow.

Japanese men don’t live longer because of magic.

They don’t count macros.
They don’t live in gyms.
But they outlive most of the world—with fewer chronic diseases.

Here’s how they do it—and how you can too: 🧵

1. Japanese men live to 81 on average.

American men? 74.

Same human biology.
Very different environment.

What’s the difference?

→ Food
→ Movement
→ Stress
→ Sleep
→ Culture

Let’s break it down.

2. They eat real food.

In Japan:
→ Rice, fish, fermented foods, veggies
→ Low sugar
→ Rarely snack

In America:
→ Ultra-processed everything
→ High-fructose corn syrup
→ Seed oils and fake flavor

We eat to escape. They eat to nourish.

Your morning habits might be destroying your fat loss.

Most men think they’re doing fine—until their metabolism, mood, and focus crash by 10am.

Here are 6 science-backed mistakes sabotaging your routine—and what to do instead: 🧵

1. Snooze button = brain fog

Each time you hit snooze, you restart a sleep cycle.
This leads to sleep inertia—grogginess, poor focus, and sluggish starts.

→ One alarm
→ Phone across the room
→ Get up on the first ring

2. Scrolling before sunrise fries your brain

Morning screen time spikes cortisol and dopamine.
It wrecks your focus, mood, and attention span all day.

→ Avoid social media for 60 mins
→ Hydrate, get sunlight, move
→ Guard your mind in the morning

Visceral fat is a silent killer.

You can look “fit” on the outside but be rotting on the inside.

It wraps your organs.
Hijacks your hormones.
And leaks toxic inflammation into your bloodstream.

Here’s how to detect it—and destroy it—for good: 🧵

1. Visceral fat = hidden health threat

This isn’t just belly fat.

→ It increases risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes
→ Lowers testosterone and crashes energy
→ Accelerates aging—even if you’re “normal weight”

It’s not about looks. It’s about internal decay.

2. Most men have it—and don’t know it

You can have visible abs and still carry visceral fat.

I’ve seen elite athletes with perfect physiques…

But under the hood?

→ High inflammation
→ Wrecked hormones
→ Metabolic dysfunction

Looks can lie. Bloodwork doesn’t.

The silent switch for your energy, brain, and mood:

Vitamin B12.

You're likely low—and have no clue.

Here’s why B12 isn’t optional for your body (& how to fix the gap):🧵

1. Supercharges your energy.

B12 turns your meals into fuel by aiding red blood cell production.

Without it, you’ll feel drained—even after 8 hours of sleep.

2. Powers your brain.

B12 is essential for keeping your mind sharp.

It fuels:

• Focus
• Memory
• Clear thinking

Low B12? Expect brain fog and scattered thoughts.

You’ve been lied to about “healthy food.”

The stuff they told you to eat is wrecking your metabolism.

And the foods they told you to fear?
They’re actually healing.

Here are 7 nutrition myths keeping you fat, tired, and inflamed: 🧵

1. Myth: Eggs raise cholesterol

Truth: Eggs have little to no effect on blood cholesterol for most people.

Egg yolks are nutrient powerhouses:
→ B12 (for energy)
→ Choline (for brain & liver)
→ Vitamin D (for hormones & immunity)

Eat eggs. Ditch the processed cereals.

2. Myth: Fat makes you fat
Truth: Fat is essential for hormone balance, brain function, and metabolism.

What actually makes you fat?
→ Processed carbs
→ Seed oils
→ Ultra-processed junk

Eat real fats like butter, tallow, and olive oil.

If I were obese and slowly dying…

Here’s exactly how I’d lose weight fast.
→ No Ozempic
→ No fad diets
→ No cookie-cutter workouts

Just science-backed strategies that actually work.

Most weight loss advice is garbage. This isn’t. 🧵

1. Temperature Manipulation

Cold exposure triggers fat-burning brown fat.

→ Cold showers can boost calorie burn by up to 30%

Heat works too.

→ Sauna use reduces body fat, aids recovery & heart health.
Use both. It’s metabolic gold.

2. Heal Your Gut First

Your gut controls hormones, hunger & fat storage.

→ Lactobacillus gasseri can reduce belly fat

→ Prebiotic fiber feeds weight-loss-friendly bacteria
Fix your gut, and fat loss gets easier.
