Second Edition
Nitric Oxide Prevents Not Only Heart Disease, But a Host of Other Diseases
The wide global popularity of Dr. Ignarro’s first book prompted this follow-up second edition, focusing on the advances made in nitric oxide biology and medicine since the first edition.
Your body evolved to produce and use NO for survival, particularly to prevent and fight disease of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and brain. But it is up to you to fuel it. Learn how by saying yes to NO-boosting nutrition, physical activity, and supplements.

The Memoir
The Discovery That Led to a Nobel Prize & Viagra
A memoir describing the roller-coaster life of an Italian-American boy of working-class parents who went on to make paradigm-shifting discoveries that earned him the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
His unwavering focus on cardiovascular disease, perseverance, and daily grind in basic research culminated in Stockholm. That work led to the development and marketing of Viagra, and before it, Voltaren for the treatment of arthritis and inflammation.
First Edition
Nitric Oxide Prevents and Even Reverses Heart Disease
In his first groundbreaking best seller, the Nobel Laureate behind the discovery of nitric oxide (NO) explains how you can boost the production and action of your own NO to prevent and even reverse heart disease.
Dr. Ignarro shows how NO levels can be raised by eating a healthy, balanced diet, engaging in moderate physical activity a few minutes a day, and taking scientifically proven supplements. Nitric oxide is very protective against heart and vascular disease.

The discovery of Nitric Oxide by Dr. Ignarro, and the role it plays in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, is as important as the discovery of penicillin and insulin.

Second Edition
Nitric Oxide Prevents Not Only Heart Disease, But a Host of Other Diseases
The wide global sales and popularity of Dr. Lou Ignarro’s first book, NO More Heart Disease, prompted him to write a follow-up second edition, also titled NO More Heart Disease. This second book focuses on the advancements made in nitric oxide (NO) biology and medicine since the first edition.
All living organisms on planet Earth evolved to produce NO for survival. Your body evolved to produce and utilize NO for survival, particularly by preventing and fighting disease. However, it is up to you to fuel the continuous production of NO, your body’s natural wonder drug to prevent diseases of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and brain. Nitric oxide makes life possible.
Learn how to engage your own miracle molecule by following simple lifestyle guidelines. Say yes to NO-boosting nutrition, NO-boosting physical activity, and NO-boosting supplements. There are hundreds of delicious foods that are healthy and tasty. A wide variety of physical activity regimens are available to boost your NO and stay healthy and in great shape. Specific supplements are available to increase your NO.

The Discovery That Led to a Nobel Prize and Viagra
This book is a memoir describing the roller-coaster life of an Italian-American young boy of uneducated working parents who went on to make paradigm-shift discoveries that earned him the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
His unwavering focus on cardiovascular disease, together with his perseverance, resilience, and daily grind in basic research, set a direct path to success, which culminated in Stockholm, Sweden with the awarding of the Nobel Prize for his seminal contributions to cardiovascular medicine.

Dr. Ignarro highlights how the relentless pursuit of a project, never giving up, and thinking outside the box all led to the discovery of a simple molecule, NO, that protects us against a host of diseases, including erectile function. The result of his work led to the development and marketing of Viagra. Before that, his basic research resulted in the development of Voltaren for the treatment of arthritis and inflammation.
First Edition
Nitric Oxide Prevents and Even Reverses Heart Disease
The pioneering scientist and Nobel Laureate behind the discovery of nitric oxide (NO) explains how you can boost the production and action of your own NO to prevent and even reverse heart disease.
In his first groundbreaking best seller, Dr. Ignarro explains the physiological importance of NO, how it is produced in our bodies, and how its levels can be boosted by eating a healthy and balanced diet, engaging in moderate physical activity only a few minutes a day, and taking scientifically proven supplements that boost both the production and action of your body’s own NO. Nitric oxide is very protective against heart and vascular disease.
Eating healthy protein, carbohydrates and fats in a lifestyle that supports moderate physical activity, such as simple walking 30 minutes a day, will result in considerable weight loss and the emergence of a much healthier body. The reason is that such a lifestyle boosts your NO which, in turn, protects your cardiovascular system against diseases such as hypertension, heart attack, stroke, coronary artery disease, and type 2 diabetes.
