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. There are other NAD+ precursors like niacin and NR, but NMN is a direct precursor and can enhance our NAD+ levels ...

Is Cheese Low in Carbohydrates?


If you are like me you love cheese, but when you are trying to stay low on carbs, there are a few things to note...

The fat to carbohydrate ratio of foods is very important if you are doing keto. For example, cream cheese is considered good for a low carb or keto diet because its F/C ratio is 5:1 (5 grams fat to 1 gram carb).

Be careful with provolone, parmigiano, pecorino and yogurt. They have more carbs than cream cheese.

Processed cheese has LOTS of carbs, so stay away from it.

Goat cheese, blue cheese, and gorgonzola are good.

Ricotta is OK but not great.

Cottage cheese is typically low in carbs but it has too much protein, especially if it is low fat. Stick with full fat, and don't eat a lot of it...

MAKE SURE YOU READ FOOD LABELS before you buy!
