Feel Good From The Inside Out (NAPSA)—The US. Census Bureau estimates that more than 15 percentofall Americansare over65 yearsold. Ifyou're among them, or hope to be someday, here’s news that could be goodfor you. Healthy aging starts with yourcells. One wayto keepcells healthyis to give them what they need to function prop- erly—from theinside out. And one of the most important waysof doing that is with a co-enzymecalled nicotinamide adeninedinucleotide (NAD). A recently discovered supernutrient can help combattheeffects of aging. Scientists say all human cells nat- urally produce and use NAD to main- tain healthy mitochondrial function— an important component of healthy humanaging. Over time, however,the body’s supply of NAD starts to decrease. Recently, a scientific breakthrough by Dr. Charles Brenner, at the University ofIowa Carver College ofMedicine, isolated nicotinamide riboside (NR), a supernutrient thought to be key to boosting NAD. In theearly 2000s, a Dartmouth Col- lege research team discovered NR was not only aneffective way to increase NADbutto improve health in general. ‘The team,led by Dr. Brenner, found that NR could increase NADin mice and that those mice experienced many health benefits such as improved blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels, reduced nerve damage, and resistance to weight gain. Dr. Brenner found that when NR gets to work in the cell, it helps form NAD andgives sirtuins, the cellular repair—promoting proteins, a “pep talk? to work overtimesocells stay strong. Studies are underwayonthepositive effects of NAD levels on other age-related health problems including fatty liverdisease, weightgain, insulinlevels, andbrain function.Tolive yourbestlife, it would seem,you shouldthink cellular.
