Why You Need NAD+ Now
NAD+ is one of the most abundant and critical molecules in living cells.
“NAD+ is one of the most abundant and crucial molecules. Basically, without NAD+, we would be on the fast track to death. The molecule is a linchpin to the function of the generators of cells — mitochondria. NAD+ not only helps convert food to energy but also plays a crucial role in maintaining DNA integrity and ensures proper cell function to protect our bodies from aging and disease” (nmn.com).
Our levels of NAD+ gradually decline as we age.
As NAD+ decreases, we see metabolic results like nutrient deficiencies and obesity, causing diabetes and high blood pressure, age related diseases, and cognitive decline.
Replacing NAD+ can actually combat these issues. Studies show replacing NAD+ may improve our metabolism, brain function, energy levels, exercise endurance, and help us age in a healthy way.
Here are some ways to up your body’s NAD+ production to stay young, stay sharp, and keep your metabolism working well:
Exercise: A little bit of physical stress signals the body to produce more NAD+. Regular exercise enhances DNA-rebuilding proteins, too!
Eat healthy foods: You can especially up your NAD+ levels by eating NAD+ rich food like edamame, broccoli, avocado, shrimp, and cabbage. You can also increase your vitamin B3 intake, a precursor to NAD+.
Good Sleep Habits: Eat and sleep on a regular schedule.
Heat: Artificial and natural heat increase our NAD+ levels. Our hearts beat faster trying to cool us down, which causes us to increase NAD+ production. Try a hot tub, sauna, or heated pool.
Fasting: Mild physical stress signals our body to make more NAD+.
Limit Alcohol: Try to limit your alcohol intake.
Protect The Skin From The Sun: The sun’s harmful rays cause DNA damage almost immediately. Cover up in UV clothing, wear sunscreen, stay out of the sun- you know the drill.
Supplements + Drips: Try a supplement or a drip! We have a great NAD+ drip called Be Rejuvenated at Purifi. It sends NAD+ straight into the bloodstream.
