5 Daily Habits That May Support Your Body’s NAD+ Levels

Explore 5 evidence-based lifestyle habits that may help maintain healthy NAD+ levels—no prescriptions or supplements required.

Key takeaways
  • NAD+ plays a role in energy metabolism and cellular function.
  • Emerging research suggests that lifestyle factors like sleep, movement, and light exposure may influence NAD+ pathways.
  • These daily routines are low-cost, accessible, and supportive of overall wellness.
  • Licensed healthcare providers you may connect to via the Eden platform can evaluate whether NAD+-related therapies are clinically appropriate

The FDA does not evaluate supplements. Supplements mentioned are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.

1. Prioritize Consistent, Quality Sleep

Consistent, restorative sleep may help regulate circadian rhythms, which are linked to enzymes involved in NAD+ metabolism, according to early-stage research.

Sleep tips:

  • Maintain consistent sleep and wake times, even on weekends.
  • Reduce bright light and screen use before bed.
  • Avoid large meals close to bedtime, as they may interfere with sleep quality in some individuals.

Consistent sleep may support overall wellness and help regulate biological rhythms that influence cellular processes.

2. Incorporate Gentle Fasting

Intermittent fasting, such as a 12:12 eating window, has been explored for its potential role in regulating energy metabolism. Early studies suggest it may influence processes related to NAD+ maintenance.

Tips to try:

  • Start with a 12-hour fast, 12-hour eating cycle.
  • Focus on nutrient-rich meals.
  • Listen to your body’s signals—rest when needed.

Fasting isn’t about restriction—it’s about establishing a consistent eating pattern that your body may adapt to over time.

3. Movement Your Body Daily

Regular physical activity supports metabolic and mitochondrial health. Research suggests these functions may be connected to the body's ability to maintain NAD+ balance.

Simple movement ideas:

  • Daily walks
  • Light strength training
  • Gentle stretching or yoga

Even short, intentional movement may help support cellular vitality.

4. Focus on Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Oxidative and inflammatory stress may increase cellular demand for NAD+. While no food can directly boost NAD+, a diet rich in whole, antioxidant-containing foods may help support overall cellular health.

Foods to include:

  • Leafy greens and berries
  • Healthy fats like olive oil
  • Fermented foods for gut support

Support your overall wellness by choosing nutrient-dense foods that may help reduce dietary and inflammatory stressors.

5. Start Your Day With Natural Light

Exposure to natural light—especially in the morning—may help regulate circadian rhythms, which may be linked to cellular and metabolic pathways, including NAD+.

Light habits:

  • Step outside for morning light
  • Increase daylight exposure indoors
  • Use low, warm lighting in the evening

Natural light exposure is a simple way to help regulate your body’s internal clock and support circadian rhythms.

It’s About Progress, Not Perfection

NAD+ levels are dynamic and influenced by many factors. While research is ongoing, small lifestyle changes may support your body’s ability to maintain balance over time.

If you’d like to explore whether prescription-based NAD+ support may be right for you, you may connect to licensed healthcare providers via the Eden platform who can help evaluate your personal health needs.
