Wellness Wednesday – Benefits and Uses of NAD+
Have you ever heard of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+? Don’t worry, we hadn’t, either. Jeremy and Mandy, owners of Live Hydration Spa Lenox, had been researching ways to fight the health effects of aging and stress, and they came across a lot of information on the emerging studies on the benefits of NAD+ therapy. Jeremy was eager to find a place that provided NAD+ therapy, and a quick internet search led to them going to LIVE Hydration Spa in Omaha. After his therapy, Jeremy experienced better sleep, improved cognitive function and focus, more energy, an increased sense of well-being, and even had less allergies. Now he does this therapy twice a month.
NAD+ is a coenzyme that turns nutrients into energy, and it is found in all living cells. It is necessary for ATP production (cellular energy), DNA repair, and immunological functions, and basically, it decreases the effects of aging on our bodies. As we age, our body’s NAD+ supply declines. Other factors leading to NAD+ decline are stress, substance abuse, intense exercise, neurogenetic diseases, lack of sleep, and anxiety and/or depression.
The good news is that you can boost your NAD+ levels with IV therapy and feel more energetic, mentally sharp, and healthier. You can receive this therapy in a comfortable, relaxing environment at LIVE Hydration Spa locations. To complement this therapy, you can also incorporate lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy, balanced diet with lots of vitamin-rich and raw foods, doing yoga and exercising.
