Misleading Food Marketing Labels: “No Nitrates Or Nitrites Added” Although there are nitrates naturally occurring in foods such as spinach, as I explain in the video, the ADI that I mentioned is specifically for nitrates added to processed meats from “natural” sources, such as celery powder or from “synthetic” sources, including sodium nitrate (E251), sodium nitrite (E250), potassium nitrate (E252) and potassium nitrite (E249). Nitrosamines can form if you cook nitrates or nitrites at high heat

Natural ways to increase Nitric Oxide: Dietary Nitrate-Rich Foods: Consuming foods high in dietary nitrates boosts nitric oxide production. These foods include leafy greens (such as spinach, kale, and arugula), beetroot, celery, and other vegetables. L-arginine and L-citrulline: L-arginine and L-citrulline are amino acids that serve as precursors to nitric oxide synthesis in the body. Foods rich in these amino acids include nuts, seeds, legumes, meat, and seafood. Regular Exercise: Physical acti
