Ketosis can increase NAD+ levels and potentially activate longevity pathways similar to caloric restriction and exercise.

“ketosis will raise nad it does are you so there's a paper that I from 2018 the title of the paper is ketogenic diet modulates nad dependent enzymes and reduces DNA damage in the hippocampus and so what they found in this experiment it was mice and they put the mice on ketogenic diets and they found that within two days levels of PARP 1 and the DNA damage decreased and declined fully after three days and they saw levels of nad increase with a ketogenic diet”

“we don't need the effects of resveratrol because we can activate the sirtuins by affecting the NADH to NAD+ to NADH ratio with ketosis even if it's intermittent”

“ketosis is gonna potentially simulate or stimulate the same pathways um as caloric restriction and exercise would right”

“in contrast nad levels increase under conditions that many of us already think of as generally healthspan promoting such as exercise and also fasting or in the case of lab rats full-blown lifelong caloric restriction”
