"Nitric oxide is a gaseous compound best known as the “open sesame” molecule released by our artery lining to enable our blood vessels to dilate. It also has broad spectrum antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. Nitric oxide is secreted into our airways as a first line of defense against respiratory infection.

How can we boost levels of nitric oxide? By eating nitrate-rich vegetables.

To improve performance, some athletes dope with beet juice. The nitrate in beets and green leafy vegetables can be converted by the body into nitric oxide. So, can they be used to help clear infections? Within 45 minutes of drinking a double shot of beet juice, nitric oxide levels in our breath go up by 80 percent, and stay elevated for at least three hours.

I went down a beetroot rabbit hole and came across a paper published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine entitled “Humming Greatly Increases Nasal Nitric Oxide.” A pair of Swedish researchers discovered that humming immediately caused a whopping 15-fold increase in exhaled nitric oxide. They suggested that perhaps “daily periods of humming can reduce the risk for sinusitis.”

Researchers gave it a shot: A 64-year-old man suffering from severe rhinosinusitis, constantly hacking up post-nasal drainage with severe headache and around-the-clock pressure. His doctors tried steroid shots, antibiotics, guaifenesin, aspirin, zinc acetate, intranasal antihistamines, and oral decongestants—all to no avail. So, they told the guy to hum for an hour (but not so strongly or so frequently as to cause dizziness). The next day, he awoke with a clear nose, breathing easily for the first time in more than a month."
