How lifestyle stressors affect your cells

The biggest stressors that affect your health (and NAD+ levels)

When we refer to “lifestyle stress management” we’re looking at common lifestyle parameters that are known to deeply affect one’s health over time. They are:

  • Time (age)

    Ageing occurs due to the passage of time. The more time your cells spend under physiological stress, the more subject they are to wear and tear. 

  • Dietary distress

    When you eat poorly, your NAD+ levels and the cellular processes supported by steady NAD+ production can suffer.

  • Immune stress

    There's a name for the ageing of your immune system: immunosenesence. As you age, protecting the health of your cells is more important than ever.

  • Sleep disruption

    Interrupted circadian rhythm can deplete NAD+, which decreases your cells' ability to make energy, carry out repair, and function overall.

  • Overtraining

    Overtraining risks injury, which requires more NAD+ to be shuttled to repair processes.

  • Environmental stressors

    Daily environmental factors such as smoke and pollution can trigger oxidative stress, leading to a decline in NAD+ and mitochondrial health.

  • Alcohol consumption

    Alcohol can trigger oxidative stress and cause free radicals, which can damage DNA. Overdoing it is unkind to your cells.

  • Sedentary lifestyle

    Inactivity has been linked to shortened telomeres caused by oxidative stress and free radicals, leading to NAD+ decline.

Cellular stressors deplete NAD+

All of these stressors can damage your cells over time, which can create a cycle of depleted NAD+, leading to more cellular dysfunction, leading to less NAD+, and on and on. The loop of cellular stress and NAD+ depletion can accelerate the signs of ageing over time, and is implicated in the development of a wide range of health conditions.
