Here are their key findings:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The country has had an increase of alcohol sales, by 54%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">16% of adults are drinking more during the pandemic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alcohol \u2018\u2019can also lead to harmful interactions with prescription drugs\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alcohol addicts have \u2018\u2019compromised immune systems, reducing the body\u2019s ability to fight off infectious diseases such as covid-19\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The article cited possible causes, including an increase in isolation and remote working, which they say fuels loneliness and boredom, known as being triggers for excessive alcohol use. It also revealed that excessive drinking increases the risk of a number of other health concerns, from mental conditions such as depression, to high blood pressure, liver disease and even cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Across the pond here in the UK, King\u2019s College London reported that nearly a third of people are reporting that they have drunk more alcohol during the pandemic than they normally would. The same study showed that 43% of people in the UK \u2018\u2019have felt more lonely than usual\u2019\u2019 and 35% have postponed treatments unrelated to the disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How can we harness NAD+?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just last month, the broadcasting and news corporation published an article declaring that \u2018\u2019\u2019soaring alcohol misuse\u2019 could overwhelm service\u2019\u2019 in the UK, citing data from the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Key points included:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The number of people drinking at higher-risk levels almost doubled between February and June this year, from 4.8m to 8.4m<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There was a 20% increase in new cases at the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Social isolation is a driving factor behind using alcohol as a coping mechanism<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The article stated that \u2018\u2019people with alcohol use disorder are more likely to develop serious complications if they catch covid-19\u2019\u2019, and highlighted that \u2018\u2019[the pandemic shows] how stretched, under-resourced and ill-equipped addiction services are\u2019\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How can NAD+ help boost immunity?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also known as \u2018Texas Tech\u2019 and \u2018TTU\u2019, the American public research university drew conclusions between the struggle of recovering from addiction with the struggle of living through a pandemic. Here are their main points:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recovery involves reducing stress \u2013 something which has increased due to the pandemic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of the alcohol sales mentioned by AHA, sale of beer multipacks increased by 90%, individual wine bottles by 66% and ready-to-drink cocktails by 75%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feelings of \u2018\u2019irritability, anxiety, fear, sadness, anger or boredom\u2019\u2019 could both trigger a relapse or \u2018\u2019intensify consumption\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The article also stressed the importance that eating well, exercising regularly and maintain a sleep schedule could have on keeping you healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How our NAD+ specialists can help<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What treatments are available?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We know that alcohol and prescription drug addiction is more than a simple detox.
