1/10 A BIOHACKING THREAD
I’ve been a biohacker since I was 13. I highly recommend you become acutely aware of your body & all its functions. The best way to do this is to subject your body to new experiences of safe, beneficial stress & pay attention to your biological responses.

2/10 Why? Well, because acute biological awareness increases mental, emotional, and relational awareness. And heightened awareness of biological and psychological phenomena—when triggered in healthy and safe ways—increases the quality, sensitivity, and joy of one’s life.
3/10 You come equipped by your benevolent Creator with three basic biological systems to play with:
•Cardiovascular (blood flow)
•Respiratory (oxygen intake)
•Digestive (food intake)
What a wonder you are!

4/10 Do not be afraid of pushing your body to safe yet uncomfortable extremes. Violate laziness and comfort in favor increased sensory consciousness. Here are a few biohacking examples I’ve experimented with over the years with great results.
5/10 FASTING
•one day a week with only water
•one food item a day for 1/3/5/7 days, such as apples, citrus, watermelon, cherries (no, Doritos don't count)

6/10 CONTROLLED BREATHING
Each night as you lay down to sleep, inhale & hold for a count of 30, then exhale completely & hold for a count of 30, X 5. Repeat as soon as you wake up in the morning. This triggers calmness & clarity of thought. Your dreams may even be more vivid.
