Daily viagra for anyone over 60? Or one raw garlic a day? Those increase NO levels rapidly as well.

+1 on L-citrulline, caution on supplement quality - many manufacturers sell 2:1 citrulline malate to reduce costs which means you effectively need to double the dose to actually consume a given target dose.

I'd like to add(0, •) another item to your list: 0. Stop mouth breathing and do nasal breathing whenever possible because only the latter produces nitric oxide, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_functions_of_nitr...
Mouth taping is not very popular outside some kinky circles.

#124I’m not sure what the proper name is for this idea, but I consider ageing to be a trade-off between cell-regeneration, which maintains youthfulness, and mutation-limitation, which reduces the chances of cancer. That is to say, if you “aged less”, you would get cancer more/sooner. Everything else, like the balance of chemicals in the body, I assume would be downstream of that.

We can all prompt ChatGPT. Littering the web with its output is against good netizenship. I understand it's inevitable and a matter of time, but it's still aggravating.
who cares how it was produced as long as it's useful...
Maybe do not sign it under your name, if it is a quote.
And if it is a quote from an unreliable source, the more important to note it.

Exercise tends to help.
My kids have started taking swim lessons at the Y, so i've been sneaking up stairs to run a mile during their lesson. I've thought about strength training etc, but I have no idea what i'm doing on those machines. Can't say I feel any different, but it is enjoyable.
For me, I started with a very simple routine with dumbbells:

It's not perfect, but it was great for getting into the habit 3 times a week. Now I often make up my own sets as I go, taking note of what's sore on me and what I feel could use some work. Doing that gave me the time to do research and get a bit more familiar with how to engage certain muscles, and what machines will do what for me.

> Cautious Mouthwash Use: I was under the impression that poor dental hygiene is associated with Alzheimer's disease and dementia?
Floss once or twice a day, maintain gum health, and watch your diet. You don't need mouthwash. (Anecdata - at my most recent visit, my dentist told me to come back in 18 months.)
That’s strange for your dentist to give up money like that lol.
But also, at dental cleanings they do things like polish your teeth. Do you also not require that?
