Biohacking is a new popular topic. So here are 8 biohacks for beginners.

If you are not familiar with this term, biohacking is the manipulation of your body, brain, and environment in order to optimize your physical and mental performance. It can include a whole range of things from gene therapy to vitamins to sleep manipulation. Here are 8 biohacks for beginners:

Although there are many complex and expensive biohacks, there are also many effective biohacks suitable for beginners that are free or nearly free.

Use these strategies to biohack yourself and perform at a higher level:

Elimination diet. The elimination diet is simple but super effective. Just remove a certain food from your diet and record the result. You can even reintroduce the food into your diet for verification.

You eat fewer foods than you think, and there is a good chance that at least one of them has a negative impact on your body. Excluding just one harmful food can have a huge impact on your life.

Meditation. Meditation is very challenging, yet at the same time simple and enriching. Meditation has so many emotional and physical benefits that it should be taught in school. Because this is not the case, the responsibility falls on your shoulders.

The internet offers many ways to learn meditation, from guides on how to meditate to YouTube videos with guided meditations. Choose and dive into it!

Caffeine. Caffeine is great for increasing concentration and endurance when taken in the right amount. It can also be addictive and cause insomnia. Caffeine should be consumed responsibly, but it is a very effective and simple way to enhance performance.

Intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is simply the restriction of calorie intake to a certain time period each day. This window usually moves between one and eight hours. For the rest of the time, stick to non-caloric drinks.

Intermittent fasting does a lot of great things for your body, including weight loss, increased insulin sensitivity, and enhanced autophagy.

Blue light. Your body needs blue light to regulate its circadian rhythm. Common artificial light sources can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your sleep. Blue light also affects your mood, memory, and overall alertness. Exposure to blue light is best done during the day.

One or two hours before sleeping, avoid using any screen technology (television, tablet, phone, computer).

Music. By simply listening to music, you can change your mood, heart rate, blood pressure, concentration, and a lot of other things. You already know that some songs or music styles will give you energy, while others will calm and relax you. Have you ever intentionally used music to your advantage?

Make a list of your favorite tracks and the effects they have on you. What song would you listen to if you were feeling down? Which song makes you feel like you could stand up to a room full of professional boxers? Which song relaxes you the most?

Cold therapy. Sitting in a cold water bath, a cold shower, or simply sitting outside in cold weather when you are underdressed can positively challenge your body, as long as you don't overdo it. Your body will become stronger by mastering this stress.

Exercise and intermittent fasting are similar in that they can bring positive stress to your body.

SaunaHeat can be another positive stressor for your body if used responsibly. Regular short sessions in the sauna or hot bath can strengthen your health. Unlike cold therapy, this is also pleasant.

Biohacking is here. At a certain level, you have already participated in biohacking. If you have ever exercised, experimented with changing your sleep schedule, or tried to gain or lose weight, you have been a biohacker! Biohacking is interesting and effective.

A few simple steps can change your life for the better. Biohacking is a tool that will help you perform at your best.
