Is NAD+ “The Fountain of Youth”?
- Low NAD+ levels affect our bodies by contributing to age-related diseases, poor energy production, and increased risk of DNA damage. Restoring NAD+ levels can have anti-aging effects
- Restore NAD+ levels by eating a balanced diet high in B-vitamins, exercising regularly, and taking NAD+ supplements such as Entity Health’s RestoriX, MetaboliX Plus, and SL NAD+.
Recent studies have revealed that NAD+ levels decrease with age, giving rise to the theory that the “Fountain of Youth” may be found in raising NAD+ levels within the body.
NAD+ is a crucial molecule involved in various metabolic reactions that affects our bodies in many ways, including contributing to age-related diseases.
NAD+ supplementation may help to:
- Reduce inflammation in fat tissue that comes with aging[1]
- Improve the function of insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar levels in the body
- Improve the function of mitochondria[2], which are the “powerhouses” of our cells
- Enhance brain function[3]
How we can restore our NAD+ levels
- Eat a balanced diet that’s high in B-vitamins[4], such as leafy greens and lean proteins. Stock up your fridge with all the spinach you can get!
- Regular exercise and physical activity. Sign up for that gym membership! Those regular exercise sessions are a wonderful way to maintain healthy NAD+ levels, and to promote your overall health!
- Taking NAD+ supplements! There are so many NAD supplements in stores now that can help to boost NAD+ levels. Here are some recommendations: Entity Health’s RestoriX, MetaboliX Plus and SL-NAD+! Best of all, SL-NAD+ is the world’s 1st pure NAD+ supplement!
