Episode Synopsis

In this episode of On the GRID, we sit down with Professor Chris Easton to discuss how ageing reduces our nitric oxide production, a molecule our bodies produce to regulate vital functions like blood pressure, muscle contraction and immune response and how we can counter this through exercise, sunlight and green leafy vegetables.  
Chris is a professor of exercise physiology from the School of Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure, and Society here at Heriot-Watt University. He’s also affiliated with the Health and Care Technologies Global Research Institute.  
Sit back, relax and let's learn something new together.
