Analysis of the Science of Longevity
Genetics? Getting older? Lifestyle? Quality of life? All?
Living a lifestyle that encourages longevity or not comes down to one thing... you're 'why'. Fear-based? Love? Purpose? In fact, living out your own personal mission can add 7 years to your life. That shows just how important it is for us to know our 'why'.
Aging comes down to how and why our cells die. Cells are constantly dividing and making more. After a while, they stop dividing and start dying. In fact, cells can divide 50 times before they start dying off. This is how we age. They are also finding a way to keep those cells on which will slow down the aging process. All cells contain Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).
NMN is a precursor to NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, meaning it becomes NAD through a series of chemical changes. NAD is a coenzyme. Living things cannot survive without NAD and is critical for energy, metabolism, and sleep. NAD levels naturally decline with age, making both (NAD and NMN) the key to understanding aging from a scientific standpoint.
NMN has a difficult time entering cells. Think of trying to move a big couch out of your front door. You might have to lift, turn, rotate or pivot for it to eventually make it outside. NMN has to chemically change into a molecule known as NR or nicotinamide riboside) in order for it to enter the cell. NMN chemically transforms back to NMN once it enters the cell and then becomes NAD.
So why is this important to understand? Because we need NAD in our everyday functions such as sleeping, breathing, converting food to energy and cellular repair. It plays an important roll in our overall health and wellness. Unfortunately, our NAD levels decrease as we age or anytime we are under a lot of stress. This contributes to why our health and cell function to decline. Knowing this will help us understand why we age. NMN is a unique scientific breakthrough, able to fully absorb in the body to boost NAD+ levels which decline as we age. This discovery gives us a glimpse into the future of longevity and anti-aging. Just by simply keeping the cells from dying, we can increase our health and longevity.
