Life after 50

  1. Beetroot juice also reportedly raises levels of nitric oxide.

    I had covid in September. Felt a bit off for a few days with nasal congestion for about a day, and a headache for maybe 2 days. But I didn’t miss a workout, and my numbers didn’t suffer. I was a bit surprised by that. Although I had a lingering cough for few weeks afterwards.

    I just got some nitroglycerin pills which I'm diluting significantly starting with a fifth of the normal strength for heart conditions. That quite directly boosts nitric oxide. After losing a couple of percent off my normal O2 levels the first time, I'm trying a shotgun approach. L-arginine, beetroot extract are all fine and dandy but this will hit harder.

    Between prior exposure, three vaccine types and this, hopefully be OK in a few days.

    Will do, I have made a nasal spray with it, best site for delivery. Amazing the things we learned since 2020 about coronavirus triage :)

    On second thought, I think I am going to skip this part:

    40 minutes of rowing several times a week.:(

    Just curious. Anyone over 50 experiencing dry throat and hoarseness? It seems to be getting worse by the day for me.

    Just be sure to get your liver checked out every so often. I snorted many of these same pills you mentioned and my liver went on a tantrum. DHEA, in particular, needs to be taken in moderation.

    Silent GERD?

    This is what Gemini said:

    Silent GERD, also known as laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), is a condition where stomach acid travels up the esophagus and into the throat and voice box.
    Key Characteristics:
    • Lack of Typical GERD Symptoms: Unlike traditional GERD, which often presents with heartburn and chest pain, silent GERD primarily affects the throat and voice box.
    • Common Symptoms:
      • Chronic cough
      • Hoarseness
      • Sore throat
      • Difficulty swallowing
      • Postnasal drip
      • Feeling of a lump in the throat (globus sensation)
