November marks the beginning of Movember, the month where we focus on men’s health – both physical and mental. In the quest for wellness, there have been many discoveries in recent years that have changed the way we approach healthcare, one of those being NAD+ or Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide.
In this blog post, we’ll be exploring ways you can improve your overall health this Movember, as well as how adding NAD+ to your routine can kickstart your wellness journey.
Men’s Health: The Statistics
Although all gender’s experience a variety of health issues at various points in their lives – there are a few that target men more specifically.
Alcohol-Related Issues
In 2021, the NHS found that men were more likely to be admitted to hospital with alcohol-related issues than women, making up 65% of admissions.
Mental Health
When surveyed, 77% of men said they have suffered with common mental health symptoms. These include symptoms such as anxiety, depression and general stress.
Physical Health
One of the leading causes of death for men is heart disease. In 2021, 59% of those admitted to hospital with heart disease were men. Causes of health disease include inactivity, smoking, excess weight and a fatty diet.
Lifestyle Changes That Support Your Wellness
It has been proven that the way to consistently improve and maintain good health is to create a healthy lifestyle and stick to it. Fad diets and trends are exciting at first but as the novelty wears off they can be hard to stick to.
Prioritising Physical Activity
Exercise is a cornerstone of good health, both physically and mentally. Incorporating regular physical activity into your routine not only keeps you in shape but also helps reduce stress, improve mood, and boost self-esteem. Find an exercise you enjoy, whether it’s jogging, cycling, swimming, or hitting the gym, and make it a regular part of your life.
A Balanced Diet
A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can provide the necessary nutrients to support your body and brain. However, it is important to not have your diet create more stress. Having things you enjoy in moderation is part of self care and is important when maintaining good mental wellness.
Supplements can also support your diet where you may lack key nutrients. For more information on NADdirect’s range of supplements, visit our website.
Creating Healthy Sleep Habits
Sleep is often underestimated but plays a vital role in maintaining both physical and mental health. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Establish a consistent sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, and avoid screens before sleep to improve your sleep quality.

Open Up
Gender roles and societal expectations can mean that men are less likely to open up to others about their mental and physical health issues. However, it doesn’t make someone weak or unable to care for others when they ask for help. A helpful way to remember this is by reminding yourself that you cannot pour from an empty cup; much like you can’t give to others without first giving yourself the same grace.
