Exercising

Exercising burns NADH and stimulates NAD+ production. Research shows that interval training is the most beneficial to NAD+ production. Short, controlled and powerful bursts of energy seem to be more beneficial when compared to exercising over a long period of time.

Fasting

The body can detect the balance of NAD+ and NADH levels. When you fast, the depletion of nutrients results in your body using NADH instead of NAD+. This allows your level of NAD+ to increase.

Getting sufficient sleep

In order for your body to produce more NAD+, it needs to be well-rested. Sleep is an integral part of the overall healthy functioning of the human body. Make sure you are getting 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep to help your body perform at its peak.

Healthy Diet

Generally speaking, there are several different foods that are good for your body and others that are bad. An unhealthy diet can lead to an overall inefficiency of your body’s ability to perform at its peak. Think of your body as a machine. Giving it the wrong fuel may not only cause inefficiencies but can also lead to damage.

Eating a healthy diet is the best start towards reducing the signs of aging and stimulating NAD+ production. Some foods that have shown to increase NAD+ levels in studies include dairy milk, fish, mushrooms (especially brown/cremini mushrooms), chicken, yeast, green vegetables (such as peas and asparagus) and fructose (such as apples, zucchini and grapes).

Protecting your body from sunlight and other forms of damage

When your skin is exposed to sunlight, it can experience damage over time. As a result, your body uses energy to repair damaged cells which decreases your NAD+ levels. By the same token, damage or injury to the body requires energy consumption and may not be ideal for your NAD+ levels.
