One of the leading causes of brain issues is lack of sleep or poor sleep. I would like to talk about how NMN can help with sleep today.
Lack of Sleep Side Effects: The Possible Link Between Sleep Deprivation, Brain Damage, and Memory
Lack of Sleep Side Effects: The Possible Link Between Sleep Deprivation, Brain Damage, and Memory
In Canada, it’s found that sleep issues may cause a lot of other problems. It not only increases car accidents, it can lead to impaired immune system and chronic conditions such as heart disease, certain types of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
Sleep problems include difficulty falling asleep, difficulty waking up, shallow sleep, still tired after waking up, frequent urination at night, etc.
Causes of sleep problems :
1️⃣ Environment related: too hot, too cold, too noisy, too bright..
2️⃣ Stress
3️⃣ Disease such as: Nocturia, Cardiovascular diseases, Heartburn, kidney disease, Asthma, Diabetes, Thyroid disease, Eating disorder, Allergies and breathing problems, etc.
4️⃣ Injury
5️⃣ Aging: Menopause, Circadian rhythm disorder
6️⃣ Others: (a) Bad habits such as working or staying up late, getting up late, too full, too hungry (b) on shift
In what way can NMN help?
📍1. Provide cellular energy
Mitochondria are built-in generators inside each of our cells. Insufficient mitochondrial activity can affect various functions of the body and causes different diseases, some directly affecting sleep.
A notable example is regarding heart health. The heart cells have a large quantity of mitochondria. If the heart cells do not have sufficient energy to pump blood to other parts of the body, this may cause insufficient blood supply to the brain & will affect the brain’s oxygen level. It’s the body’s automatic mechanism not to go into deep sleep when oxygen level is low.
Another example of the impact of insufficient mitochondrial activity is on our hormone production. Insufficient cellular energy may affect the production of h…
📍2. Activate all 7 longevity genes
NMN by increasing the NAD+ level, can turn on all the 7 longevity genes. Each of these 7 genes or a specific combination among them has a Specific role
No. 1 can regulate cell metabolism, repair blood vessels & regulate the circadian clock
No. 2 Reduces Fat, Oxidative Stress, and Reduces Inflammation
No 3 can repair and lengthen telomeres. Reduce cell death, improve immune cell quality and quantity
No. 4 Can Inhibit Cancer & improve autophagy
No. 5 is especially good for our liver, strengthening hematopoietic function and improving blood quality.
No. 6 has a good hypoglycemic effect and reduces the risk of cerebrovascular problems.
No. 7 is good for the heart.
SIRT1 regulates circadian clock gene expression through PER2 deacetylation
📍 3. Release repair enzymes
By increasing NAD+ levels, NMN helps releasing repair enzymes to aid cell repair and reduce disease.
▶️ The above 3 functions of NMN reduce a lot of risk factors that cause sleep problems.
Here is testimony about reducing body ache, improving sleep and boosting metabolism
I would also like to share 2 of the scientific studies here.
