Comments · 36 Views

Are you a beginner starting on their biohacking journey? Here are some easy natural biohacking methods anyone can try.

You must have heard that the best things in life are free. This might not apply to your favorite food or dress, but it holds true for Biohacking, the art of improving your physical and mental health.

The term biohacking means to hack our bodies and improve our lifestyles. Some people assume that biohacking is about using expensive methods like devices or surgeries, costly supplements, and diet plans. However, biomedical experts and authors disagree.

Biohacking is different for different people, but here are some free and natural biohacking methods that work for almost everyone. Here are some low-cost and low-fuss hacks for beginners.

 

Benefit from Sunlight

The sun is the greatest source of energy and light on our planet, but very few people benefit from it. Biohacking experts and scientists recommend going out as much as possible to get maximum natural light. However, you should prefer getting most of your daily natural light in the morning, and at noon, with 10-15 minutes of sunlight exposure in the afternoon. One tip that you can use is to look at your shadow. If it’s shorter than your height, the sunlight is ideal for vitamin D formation: your primary purpose of getting maximum sunlight.

 

In addition, biomedical experts suggest avoiding blue light from mobile, laptops, and computer screens as much as you can. For this purpose, you can change your device settings to reduce blue light exposure or wear special glasses that block blue light. Natural light boosts the production of serotonin, a hormone that improves your mood and reduces stress. Many doctors link mental health diseases like depression to excessive exposure to artificial or blue light.

Fix Up Your Sleeping Schedule

Can it get any simpler than this? Almost all biohacking experts and authors agree that better sleep is the key to a better life. In fact, sleep is the most effective method to relaxthe human body and mind. Our cells get repaired, and our lymphatic system removes waste material from the body when we’re asleep. According to research, people who follow better sleep schedules live healthier and longer lives. Our performance, health, happiness, and even life longevity depend upon this one life aspect—sleep.

 

If you don’t already sleep well, we recommend making it a priority. Here are some tips that will help you improve your sleep quality.

 

  • Don’t eat anything at least 3 hours before going to bed.
  • Wear your blue-light-blocking sunglasses 2 hours before bedtime, and minimize screen time as much as possible. Moreover, you can also stop using your phone one hour before bedtime.
  • Ensure that your bedroom is dark, quiet, and has a moderate temperature. In addition, we also recommend making your bedding super-comfortable to enjoy disruption-free sleep.

 

Get Into Earthing

Do you know that having direct contact with the floor's surface is an effective biohacking technique? You might have a hard time believing this, but it’s effective. Your body has many ions that you can exchange with the negatively-charged earth through earthing or connecting with the earth. This process positively charges our bodies by minimizing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.

 

For people who don’t know, oxidative stress speeds up the aging process, so this biohacking tip might slow down the aging clock. To get into earthing, we recommend taking off your shoes and walking barefoot in your garden or a nearby park. In addition, you can also try bathing in a natural water body, like a lake or a river, instead of always showering in your bathroom to build a better connection with the earth.

 

Control Your Brain through Breathing

You might be surprised to read this, but another powerful way to hack your mind and body is something every human does: breathing. According to biomedical experts, different breathing exercises have a different impact on our minds.

 

An example of this is box breathing, which helps calm your brain. In box breathing, you breathe in four seconds, hold your breath for four seconds, breathe out for four seconds, and then hold your breath for four seconds. Besides following techniques like box breathing, medical experts also suggest breathing through the nose instead of the mouth, as you can get more nitric oxide in the body and improves physical health in a number of ways.

Cleanse Your Body through Fasting

Another natural biohacking method that’s completely free is fixing your food intake or practicing regular fasting. It’s no secret that the body burns energy reservoirs during fasting, but do you know that it only breaks down damaged body cells to get the required energy?

 

Therefore, this fasting cycle is one of the best ways to improve your body by cleansing it. Many biomedical experts have discussed various fasting methods, and you should select one that suits your body and lifestyle. Remember to drink as much water as possible, as it also plays an essential role in cleansing your body.
