I don't know if this is useful, but I've just had a dietary experience of down-regulating my peroxynitrite levels. I've been working on this issue throughout this year, with various strategies. My weight had begun creeping up, seemingly in response to the high carrot and nut/seed spread intake that my body requested to cope with peroxynitrite symptoms.
I decided to shift my meal times, hoping to be able to use up more energy during the day. I realized that I'd evolved my current meal pattern a year and a half ago to accompany my coffee enema regimen. Bone broth with no added fat or meat in the AM, and broth + fat + small portion of meat in PM. With carrots and seed spread especially in the PM. I've found that (surprise!) I've had better energy eating the higher density meal in AM, and greatly reduced peroxy symptoms, hence decreased intake to cope with it. Has my body been experiencing oxidative stress because I haven't been giving it enough fuel to function during my awake hours?
What do you mean by peroxynitrite symptoms, @ahmo? I always find it difficult or impossible to attribute symptoms to any particular thing, as there is so much going on that affects the body - food, supplements, exertion, stress, sleep/lack of sleep, environmental chemicals, etc. I can only make guesses, and sometimes take action to correct any problems, sometimes with success, and then I can be slightly more confident that I'm on the right track!
