In this continuation of our exploration into NMN and longevity, we dive into actionable steps you can take to optimize your health and maximize the benefits of NMN. We'll discuss how factors within your control—like stress, sleep, physical activity, and nutrition—can significantly impact NMN and NAD levels in your body.

We start by examining how stress depletes NAD levels and how effective stress management can boost NMN's effectiveness. We highlight the crucial role of quality sleep in maintaining healthy NAD levels, sharing tips on sleep hygiene, managing pre-sleep stress, and improving sleep quality. We also explore the importance of physical strength and regular exercise in boosting NAD levels, along with the benefits of sunlight exposure for regulating circadian rhythms and supporting overall well-being.

We'll touch on the effects of alcohol on mitochondrial function and provide guidance on moderating consumption, as well as the role of a balanced diet rich in NAD-boosting foods, antioxidants, and healthy fats. Finally, we discuss the importance of supplementation and how it can further support your journey toward longevity.

“When we are looking at things like dosages with NMN, it is very personalized. It depends on your health stage, goals, age, what medications and supplementations you are on, and whether you have any diagnosis. So it is really important to speak with somebody before you start taking supplements.”
