NAD Helpful Points

Raising NAD :

1. Intermittent or prolonged fasting
2. Exercise vigorously enough to create a temporary oxygen deficit (high intensity training and aerobic)
3. Taking cold showers
4. Saunas
5. NAD precursors (niacin, NAD riboside, NMN). NAD itself is too big a molecule  to easily go through cell membranes)
6. Eating parsley or drinking parsley juice (rich in apigenin) keeps an enzyme called CD38 from destroying NAD in the body.
7. Raising NAD doesn’t do much unless we activate our sirtuin genes. There are over a dozen foods that activate sirtuins. Resveratrol from blue berries and oleic acid from olive oil are powerful sirtuin activators
8. NAD intravenously from time to time (250-1000mg IV drips at Dr Golding’s practice)

Foods activating sirtuin genes :

The top 20 ‘sirtfoods’ : arugula, buckwheat, capers, celery, chilies, cocoa, coffee, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, green tea, kale, Medjool dates, parsley, red endive, red onion, red wine, soy, strawberries, turmeric and walnuts.

For interest Jampolis endorses the majority of this list, except for the Medjool dates (she recommends people monitoring their weight avoid dried fruit) and emphasizes the soy should be minimally processed.

Starbucks adds new Almondmilk Honey Flat White and Coconutmilk Latte to the permanent menu.
