What is nitric oxide? Nitric oxide is a gas that is inhaled. It works by relaxing smooth muscle to widen (dilate) blood vessels, especially in the lungs. Nitric oxide is used together with a breathing machine (ventilator) to treat respiratory failure in premature babies. Your baby will receive this medication in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or similar hospital setting.
Fruits that help our body to produce nitric oxide include oranges, watermelon, mango, and cranberries. Beets, and dark green leafy vegetables like spinach, arugula, and lettuce are a good source of nitrates. The following are vegetables that help increase nitric oxide production: spinach, arugula, kale, and watercress.
