These two compounds are making waves in the world of health and longevity. Let's break it down and see what all the hype is about. The Basics: Our bodies use NMN, or nicotinamide mononucleotide, to create NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. This compound is found in every cell and is essential for energy metabolism, gene expression, and DNA repair. Plus, NAD+ might help prevent the shortening of telomeres, which could slow down the aging process. As we age, our NAD+ levels decline. Supplementing with NMN might boost these levels, promoting healthy aging and longevity. Lower NAD+ levels have been linked to quicker physical decline and the onset of age-related diseases, like Alzheimer’s.

Delicious Chocolate Mug Cake with Yummy Topping

 


This keto version of chocolate mug cake is one of my favorite snacks.
This time I topped it with a spoonful of low carb salted caramel sauce,
some sugar free chocolate chips, and a few pecans. Complete yumminess!

Sometimes you just gotta have dessert, even if you're watching your carbs. I love this recipe for chocolate keto mug cake. It's easy and quick and satisfies my sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar substitute (I use a granulated erythritol/stevia blend)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Coat a microwave safe mug with cooking oil. In a small bown beat egg and heavy cream. Stir in vanilla extract. In another small bowl combine dry ingredients and mash any lumps in the cocoa powder with a fork. Stir until smooth. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Add batter to mug. Tap on counter a few times to remove air bubbles. Microwave on full power for 90 seconds.

Tip cake out of mug onto a small dessert plate. Top with your favorite low carb toppings. I love low carb salted caramel sauce, a few sugar free chocolate chips, and some pecans. It's very tasty!
