If you’ve undergone surgery, you know that recovery is no picnic. Your body has been through a lot, and as a result, you might not feel quite like yourself.

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iodine for adults who are not pregnant or breastfeeding is a mere 150 micrograms. The upper intake level — the maximum daily amount considered safe — is 1,100 mcg, or just over 1 milligram. “It’s been called the Goldilocks mineral,” says Christianson. “For most nutrients, you have a much bigger buffer zone than that.”The iodine you consume in food and drink is absorbed in your gut and circulated through your blood.

The body makes nitric oxide in two ways. Cells lining the blood vessels produce nitric oxide from L-arginine, an amino acid found in meat and nuts. This process declines with age, but the body also makes nitric oxide by processing nitrates directly from food. Nitrates are found in dark, leafy greens and certain root vegetables, like beets. Understanding their importance requires a quick hit of chemistry. A nitrate is made up of a nitrogen atom bonded to three oxygen atoms (NO3).
