Blueprint for a Longer Life

Diet

  • Reduce overall amount of calories without becoming malnourished
  • Eat less often: Fast and try to limit yourself to 1-2 meals per day
  • Eat a predominantly plant based diet
  • Avoid sugar and carbohydrates where possible
  • Eat more avocado, broccoli and cabbage (contain NMN)
  • Target plants that are yellow, red, orange or blue
  • Reduce overall protein – but when you do eat it do muscle exercise to direct protein to muscles

Supplements/Drugs

  • Take supplements to increase the amount of NAD in your body
    • NR (Nicotinamide riboside) – a cheaper less stable version of NMN
  • Trans-Resveratrol
  • Metformin
  • Methyl B-12 & Methyl Folate and/or TMG
  • Avoid Niacin derivatives: “Nicotinamide” or “Niacinamide” in vitamins – product can inhibit reaction with NMN supplements

Exercise and Physical Fitness

  • Exercise 10 minutes a day – ensure that you are out of puff. HIIT training is ideal for this.
  • Weightlifting – aim to lift heavier weights with less repetition and good form

Things to Avoid

  • Products with high level of nicotinamide (niacin)
  • Toxic substances such as pesticides, some plastics, mercury and others that can damage DNA
  • Reduce overall stress levels
  • Sugar spikes
  • Too much sunlight and use sun protection when exposed
  • X-Rays, CT scans & Airport scanners
  • Some drugs – chemo
  • Yellow die inkjet printers
  • Inflammation

Things to do

  • Cold showers – making yourself cold promotes production of NAD
  • Heat – Hot tubs or saunas
  • 8+ hours sleep – lack of sleep will increase the aging process
