The first Labor Day was a Tuesday in 1882, not a three-day weekend. A short look at where the holiday actually came from.

Labor Day did not begin as a long weekend. It began as a workers’ demonstration.
On Tuesday, September 5, 1882, New York City’s Central Labor Union organized the first Labor Day parade. About 10,000 workers marched from City Hall past Union Square and then gathered for a picnic, speeches, and music. They were marking the dignity of work at a time when many Americans still labored six days a week, often for ten or more hours a day, with few legal protections.
Two union men are still credited with the idea: Peter J. McGuire of the carpenters and Matthew Maguire of the machinists, then secretary of the Central Labor Union. Historians have never settled the debate. What is certain is that the holiday grew from organized labor itself, not from a president’s proclamation.
Oregon made Labor Day a state holiday in 1887. Other states followed. Congress and President Grover Cleveland made the first Monday in September a federal holiday on June 28, 1894, in the aftermath of the Pullman railroad strike. Choosing September rather than May 1 also set the American observance apart from International Workers’ Day.
Today the day is often associated with sales and the unofficial end of summer. Its origin was simpler: workers asking the country to notice the people who built it.

Why Your Cells Need More NAD+ as You Age (And Why Taking NAD+ Itself Isn’t the Best Way)
As we get older, many of us notice lower energy, slower recovery, and changes in how our body handles stress and inflammation. One key player behind these shifts is a molecule called NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).
NAD+ is essential for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and the activity of important “longevity” enzymes called sirtuins. Research shows that NAD+ levels tend to decline with age. When they drop, mitochondria (your cells’ power plants) become less efficient, DNA repair slows down, and low-grade inflammation can rise. These changes are linked to many of the processes we associate with aging.
So it makes sense that people are interested in boosting NAD+. But here’s an important detail most people miss:
Taking NAD+ itself — orally or even topically — is usually not very effective.
NAD+ is a relatively large and highly charged molecule. When you swallow it, digestive enzymes and stomach acid break much of it down before it can be properly absorbed. It also struggles to cross cell membranes intact. The same barrier problem limits how well plain topical NAD+ penetrates the skin.
This is why scientists and clinicians focus on NAD+ precursors instead — molecules like nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). These smaller compounds are better absorbed and can be converted into NAD+ inside your cells, where it’s actually needed. Human studies show that these precursors can raise NAD+ levels more reliably than taking NAD+ directly.
In short:

NAD+ declines with age and supports critical cellular functions
Direct NAD+ has poor bioavailability
Precursors offer a more practical and evidence-based route to help restore NAD+ levels

Supporting healthy NAD+ levels is one piece of the healthy-aging puzzle (alongside sleep, movement, nutrition, and managing inflammation). If you’re considering supplements, it’s always wise to talk with a knowledgeable healthcare provider about what makes sense for you.
