Healthy And Simple Recipes With NAD+ Foods

Healthy eating is one of the main practices maintaining your well-being and healthy aging. Especially, foods balanced with essential vitamins can be as complimentary to daily supplementation.

In this article, we present 3 simple recipes for enjoying a more comforting and light meal. The main ingredients in these food recipes contain naturally occurring NAD+ which is a vital component for healthier aging and a longer lifespan.

Foods that contain most of the NAD+ are cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, cabbage, broccoli, beef, mushroom, edamame, and shrimp. The measured NAD+ content in all the 3 dishes is also mentioned to help you get an idea of how much NAD+ you may get with each of these dishes.
