Biohacking was developed in the USA and fuels the hope of reaching a Methuselah old age, slim and slim. The developer of this method or – let’s say – the founder of the religion is not a doctor, but an American computer specialist named Dave Asprey. He compares the human body to a computer that can be hacked once you understand it. We usually associate hacking with damaging interference with the system, but Asprey wants to improve our biological system through selective changes and hopes to live to be healthy and fit for 180 years. It’s almost certain that none of us will be able to check this anymore. (Laugh, because humor is a health-promoting elixir of life).
If we leave aside the planned highly complex biotechnological interventions, in the development of which even Jeff Bezos, an ardent supporter of biohacking, is investing in a start-up, you will find basic recommendations here that you can use to transform your battered state towards a more youthful one to direct vitality. I can unreservedly endorse some of the recommendations from the medical side: regular and sufficiently long sleep is considered a non-negotiable requirement, breathing exercises and meditation to better cope with the stress of everyday life, intermittent fasting to prevent chronic illnesses, infrared treatment is intended to increase energy production (ATP). Encourage, take a cold shower every morning to prevent inflammation and promote regeneration, and of course intensive training to increase physical performance. Just by following these basic “soft biohacking” recommendations and eating conscientiously, reducing alcohol and avoiding nicotine, you will soon feel much better again. But the future will tell us whether we can reach a biblical old age with youthful freshness.
