Without thinking about it, we take for granted the importance of the brain’s functions. This includes its ability to help form thoughts, speech, memory, extremity movement and helps organs to function properly. We shouldn’t take our brains for granted. Internally the aging process has various struggles including in the brain.

Boosting NAD+ May Help Repair Damaged Skin
NAD+ is short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide as the oxidized form, found in all living cells. NAD+ is used in the metabolic pathways in the body to make energy. Although, it is the trigger for repairing DNA, which is necessary during the aging process and important for the skin. Many skin care companies are launching NAD+ products because of the potential benefits.

NAD imbalance within cells has a major impact on aging.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a compound located in every living cell and is critically important for metabolism. It helps to convert food into energy within the mitochondria of cells. An imbalance in the equilibrium of cellular NAD has an impact on chromosomal telomeres leads to a faster aging process.

In biochemistry, the term “de novo” means that one compound like niacin makes a brand new compound like NADH. It is like building a car from scratch. Human cells generally depend on the De novo creation of NAD from the basics.

Our immune systems are affected by many different things including climate changes. With fluctuating outdoor temperatures our immune systems are not always prepared to handle it. In addition, the influence of light and dark cycles also can weaken our bodies. Harmful germs from the environment can attack and damage our immune cells. As one ages, the immune system becomes more vulnerable.

The metabolic switch is the place in the body where there is a negative energy balance. The level of glycogen (stored sugar) in the liver is drained and the switch is flipped and fatty acids move out of the tissues and into the blood stream. This occurs after around 12 hours of fasting (Anton SD et al, 2018).

Resveratrol, niacin and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) are key performers in helping to activate sirtuins to promote a longer lifespan. The research community has been quite intrigued to find and study these types of sirtuin activators because of their function. If the sirtuins can be activated humans have the opportunity to extend their lifespan.

The prefix xeno means a foreign substance or stranger and hormesis is a protective way to respond when there is mild stress in the environment.

Research is investigating ways to stop cognitive decline by finding metabolic agents to increase cellular ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) levels. ATP is the molecule that carries and transfers or stores energy within all living cells. ATP energy is made from food substances that are broken down and released.

Epigenetics is derived from a Greek word meaning Over & Above the Genome. It is known that aging is characterized by a decline in the function of body systems, tissues, and organs. There is evidence that shows the association between epigenetic changes and aging decline. The reason researchers are investigating epigenetics is that it can be reversed and that there are ways in the pathways to prevent age related decline and disease.
