Biohacking is a constantly evolving field, with new ideas and techniques emerging all the time.
Here are ten (10) relatively new biohacks that have gained popularity in recent years:
- Cold water immersion – taking a cold shower or immersing in cold water has been shown to have a range of health benefits, including boosting the immune system, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation.
- Time-restricted eating – limiting the time period during which you eat each day, such as by practicing intermittent fasting, has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including weight loss and improved blood sugar regulation.
- Blue light blocking – using blue light blocking glasses or devices to reduce exposure to blue light at night, which can disrupt sleep and circadian rhythms.
- Red light therapy – using red light therapy devices, which emit red and near-infrared light, to improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and increase muscle recovery.
- Breathwork – using specific breathing techniques to reduce stress, improve focus, and increase energy levels.
- Heart rate variability training – using biofeedback devices to measure and improve heart rate variability, which is linked to improved stress resilience and overall health.
- Nootropics – using supplements or drugs that enhance cognitive function, such as focus, memory, and creativity.
- Sensory deprivation – immersing in a sensory deprivation tank, which is filled with warm water and epsom salt and is meant to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve mental clarity.
- Microdosing – taking small amounts of psychedelic substances, such as LSD or psilocybin, to improve mood, creativity, and productivity.
- Genetic testing – using genetic testing to identify potential health risks and tailor lifestyle and diet choices accordingly.
It’s worth noting that while some of these biohacks have promising research behind them, others are still experimental and may carry risks. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before attempting any new biohacks.
