The older you get, the lower your NAD+ levels are. Especially middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old need to supplement NMN the most. At this time, the risk of diseases caused by aging increases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc.
Eating NMN can delay aging and alleviate aging-related diseases. What are the specific benefits of taking NMN for middle-aged and elderly people?
GSHWORLD summarizes the following eleven points for you:
1.Alleviating the Three Highs Problem
Many people feel that as they age, problems such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar arise. The three highs will greatly increase the risk of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and in severe cases will affect life.
NMN can enhance blood vessel health, delay aging, and is also known as the scavenger of blood vessels; NMN can reduce insulin resistance and stabilize blood sugar levels; and NMN can inhibit cholesterol synthesis, promote lipolysis, reduce body fat rate, and avoid high blood lipids.
Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people can greatly reduce the risk of three highs by eating NMN. If they already have three highs, it can also effectively regulate and improve them.
2.Prevent and improve osteoporosis
The elderly are prone to calcium deficiency, which causes low bone density. In addition, aging itself can also cause bone aging. Therefore, many elderly people, especially women, have inconvenience in their legs and feet.
After NMN enters the human body, it produces NAD+, which is beneficial to promoting bone health, increasing bone density, and preventing osteoporosis.
3.Control weight gain
Another characteristic of old age is gaining weight. This is because the digestive system becomes less efficient, causing more energy to be stored in the body as fat.
In 2017, Professor Margaret J. Morris and her team from the School of Medicine at the University of New South Wales found that NMN has a better effect on liver fat catabolism and anabolism than exercise. Moreover, Okabe from Toyama University in Japan discovered that NAD + can regulate fat synthesis and proposed NMN as a novel treatment method to combat obesity.
4.Regulate cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Maintaining high NAD+ levels can enhance heart function. Dr. Liu Qiming, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Central South University, led a team to publish a review article in the journal Clinica Chimica Acta, saying that “supplementing and stabilizing NAD+ levels in the body is currently one of the best ways to treat cardiovascular diseases.”
5.Poor sleep quality
Inability to sleep and insomnia are problems that most elderly people face. Long-term insomnia can cause neurasthenia, nervous system disorders, endocrine disorders, decreased immunity, and other problems, which is very harmful.
Taking NMN can help regulate the biological clock. A human trial showed that after taking NMN, the elderly took shorter time to fall asleep, longer night dreams, and longer deep sleep time. The effect is very obvious.
6.Enhance immunity
The source of all diseases is “degeneration of body functions” leading to “lowering of human immunity”, allowing viruses and diseases to take advantage of them. If your immunity is low, you will recover more slowly from illness.
NMN can enhance immunity by enhancing the functions of the spleen, lymph and other immune systems, improve the resistance of the elderly to viruses and bacteria, and build a line of defense for the human body.
7.Solve aging problems
Aging problems include physical weakness, fatigue, memory loss, vision loss, hearing loss, etc.
An obvious feeling among middle-aged and elderly people is that they cannot keep up with their physical strength during exercise, they are easily out of breath, their muscles are sore after exercise, their energy recovery is slow and they easily feel tired, and their memory declines and they easily forget things. These are all signs of physical aging.
After taking NMN, the NAD+ levels in the brain, heart, and lungs increase. You can obviously feel that your physical strength and energy are enhanced, your memory becomes better, and you feel full of energy every day.
