Consuming low to moderate amounts of caffeine (50-300 mg) has been shown to improve alertness, energy, and focus. [사진= 게티이미지뱅크]Biohacking, also known as DIY biology, refers to the practice of using science and technology to optimize health and well-being. It refers to a set of technologies aimed at improving human health through genetic, dietary, and behavioral changes. It is an exercise that optimizes the body’s performance based on the principles of biology, genetics, medicine, and technology.
It began with the goal of improving overall physical health and optimizing body function outside of the realm of traditional medicine. The British daily Daily Mail introduced 10 biohacking methods recommended by fitness experts.
Soak in ice water
Scientists recommended soaking your body in cold water (10C to 15C) for 11 minutes each week. Australians have enjoyed taking cold compresses and ice baths. Wim Hof, a Dutch motivational speaker who holds 21 Guinness records for performing superhuman acts in extreme cold, said: “Being in ice water reduces your heart rate during the day, which reduces your stress levels. “You feel more energized, and improved blood flow provides better nutrition to your cells.”
Sleep more than 7 hours every night
It’s a good idea to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night and maintain a good circadian rhythm. You should aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Spending time outdoors in the morning and during the day helps regulate your body’s internal clock. Getting enough sleep promotes muscle growth and recovery, helps maintain brain alertness, improves blood sugar levels, and extends lifespan.
Enjoy a sauna regularly
Saunas have several benefits for cardiovascular health because the high temperature increases heart rate and blood flow, which helps lower blood pressure and cool down the body. Experts recommend taking a sauna for 30 minutes at 80-90 degrees Celsius three times a week.
Add 1 teaspoon of Himalayan salt to water and drink it.
Himalayan salt is rich in minerals and electrolytes, which help move nutrients into cells. While your body naturally produces electrolytes and absorbs them from food, adding a teaspoon of salt to a liter of water will boost your metabolism and give you a burst of energy. It also supports kidney and liver function and helps detoxify the body.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for Men
Some doctors recommend that men take TRT medications in their 40s when their testosterone levels begin to decline. Experts have found that healthy levels of testosterone improve energy levels, increase bone density, muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, and generally improve mood. Testosterone levels can be checked by a professional and the typical range is 300 to 1000 ng/dL.
Do intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting reduces insulin in the blood, increases human growth hormone, and promotes cell repair to reset the body’s functions. It actually helps you burn fat and gain muscle faster, and it’s scientifically proven to benefit your heart. If you are trying intermittent fasting for the first time, it is best to use the least restrictive ratio of 14:10 or 12:12.
Drink no more than two and a half cups of coffee per day
Studies have shown that consuming low to moderate amounts of caffeine (50-300 mg) can improve alertness, energy, and focus. Coffee can also prevent heart failure by helping the heart pump blood faster. It is important to moderate your caffeine intake, as increasing your caffeine intake can have negative effects such as anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and increased heart rate. Experts say it’s healthy to drink up to 2.5 cups of coffee a day, as long as the caffeine content doesn’t exceed 300 mg.
Get a blood test every year
Regularly monitoring your body can help you detect illnesses or diseases early, increasing your chances of treatment and recovery. Blood tests show levels of glucose, calcium, cholesterol and electrolytes, which can indicate signs of heart disease, diabetes and organ failure. Doctors recommend getting a comprehensive blood test once a year.
Learn how to breathe properly
Breathing is a practice that trains your body to control your breathing and use your breathing to calm yourself when you are stressed. Fast, shallow breathing when you’re angry or stressed can put extra strain on your body. You should practice breathing in for 4 seconds and exhaling for 6 seconds. It is recommended to repeat this exercise for 10 minutes twice a day.
Do Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy can optimize skin health in just a few weeks. Promotes muscle recovery, helps with inflammation, and supports the nervous system. It also reduces acne scars, burns, wrinkles, and UV damage.
