Riaan Umkhuba owaziwa ngokuthi “i-biohacking” usuqala ukuduma phakathi kosaziwayo abafana no-Brooke Burke, u-Tom Brady no-Jeff Bezos – kuyindlela yokuthuthukisa. impilo, ubungqabavu nobungqabavu ngokwenza izinguquko ezincane nezikhuphukayo zendlela yokuphila.
Kodwa ingabe le “biology ye-DIY” iphelele nje?
Ochwepheshe balinganisele esifundweni sokuphahlazeka ngesihloko.
Kuyini i-biohacking?
I-Biohacking ingumqondo obanzi ongasetshenziswa ezicini eziningi zempilo yomzimba nengqondo, kusukela ekudleni nasekuzivocavoceni ukuya ekulaleni nasekulaleni. ukuphathwa kwengcindezi.
UBROOKE BURKE UTHI I-BIOHACK INGUKHIYE WOMZIMBA WAKHE OMANGALISAYO ESEMINYAKA 51: ‘NGIYAQHUBEKA’
Abasekeli bathi abantu bangakwazi ukungena ngemvume kubhayoloji yabo ukuze bafinyelele imigomo ehlukene, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukwehlisa isisindo, ukukhulisa inkumbulo, ukuphila isikhathi eside, ukulala kangcono noma ukudambisa ubuhlungu obungapheli.
UDavid Asprey, umbhali nomsunguli wenkampani yezempilo nokuphila kahle ebizwa nge-Bulletproof 360 e Seattleuzibiza ngokuthi “ubaba we-biohacking.”
Utshele iFox News Digital nge-imeyili ukuthi waqala ukunyakaza kwe-biohacking ngo-2011.
UBrooke Burke utshele iFox News Digital ukuthi abantu “bangaqala bebancane” uma kuziwa ekunakekeleni imizimba yabo kanye nempilo iyonke – nokuthi “into embi kakhulu” ongayenza ngeke kube yilutho nhlobo mayelana nokuzivocavoca noma ukuzivocavoca. (Izithombe zikaGetty)
“I-Biohacking isayensi yokuguqula indawo ezungezile ukuze ukwazi ukulawula ngokugcwele i-biology yakho,” kusho u-Asprey.
“Kukuvumela ukuthi uthole imiphumela eminingi ngesikhathi esincane. Esikhundleni sokusunduza nokuzama, ushintsha izinto ezikuzungezile ukuze umzimba wakho unikeze ngokuzikhandla lokho okufunayo, njengamandla amaningi noma amafutha amancane noma ubuchopho obungcono.”
Ukholelwa ukuthi abantu abamukela i-biohacking cishe bazophila impilo engcono enamandla, ukuthula, ukuzola nokulawula indlela ababukeka ngayo nabazizwa ngayo.
I-Asprey isebenzisa umphakathi waku-inthanethi wama-biohackers abizwa ngokuthi i-The Upgrade Collective.
Amakhulu amalungu, uthe, asizwe kakhulu ngokulawula i-biology yawo.
UTom Brady uye wanakekela ngokucophelela umzimba wakhe kanye nempilo yakhe yonke kanye nesimo sakhe iminyaka eminingi. (Gilbert Flores/Izinhlobonhlobo)
“Abanye baye wafunda ukulala ngokokuqala ngqa eminyakeni edlule, abanye balahlekelwe ngamakhilogremu angu-100, kanti abanye bazizwa benamandla amakhulu kunalokho abebekholelwa ukuthi kungenzeka,” usho kanje.
I-Biohacking akuwona umkhuba olingana konke. Abantu bangakhetha futhi bakhethe izici abazikhethele ukuthi bagxile kuzo – nokuthi bangayithatha kude kangakanani.
Ukwelashwa okushisayo nokubanda kwachaza
I-Cold therapy, noma i-cryotherapy, ingenye yezindlela ezivame kakhulu ze-biohacking.
Sekuyisikhathi eside abasubathi beyisebenzisa ukuze banciphise ukuvuvukala kanye nokudambisa imisipha ebuhlungu ngemva kwezikhathi zokuqeqesha ezinzima, kodwa futhi ithola ukuduma okusabalele ngenxa yezinzuzo zayo zempilo yengqondo nengokwenyama.

UMelanie Avalon, umlingisi, umbhali kanye ne-biohacker ekhuthele Los Angeles, Californiayenza izikhathi zansuku zonke ze-cryotherapy.
“Kuyasiza ekwehliseni ukuvuvukala kanye ‘nokuqondisa’ ama-neurotransmitters, njenge-dopamine ne-epinephrine,” kusho yena.
Ukwelapha okubandayo kungase kube lula njengokusebenzisa iphakethe leqhwa endaweni yendawo noma ukugeza ishawa elibandayo.
Abanye bangase bageze umzimba wonke eqhweni, “i-polar plunges” noma i-cryotherapy yomzimba wonke e-cryochamber, epholiswa emazingeni okushisa abandayo nge-nitrogen ewuketshezi.
Kulabo abangakwazi ukuthatha amakhaza, enye indlela ye-biohacking ihlanganisa ukwelapha ukushisa.
U-Avalon uthe wenza izikhathi ku-sauna ye-infrared njengendlela yokunciphisa ubuhlungu bemisipha, ukujuluka ubuthi, ukuqinisa amasosha omzimba ngokugqugquzelwa umkhuhlane wokwenziwa, kanye nokwenza kusebenze amaprotheni okushisa akhuthaza ukuphila isikhathi eside.
(Hlala uthintana nodokotela noma umhlinzeki wezempilo ngaphambi kokuqala noma yikuphi ukwelapha okubandayo noma okushisayo.)
Ukuzila ukudla okuphakathi kwembulwa
Ngenkathi ama-biohackers egcizelela kakhulu abakudlayo, nini abadlayo mhlawumbe kubaluleke ngendlela efanayo.
U-Brooke Burke, isibonelo, sekuyisikhathi eside engumgqugquzeli wokuzila ukudla ngezikhathi ezithile, okuvimbela ukudla efasiteleni elithile lesikhathi.
Ukuzila ukudla ngezikhathi ezithile kuye kwaboniswa kukhiqiza izinzuzo eziningi, okuhlanganisa impilo yenhliziyo ethuthukisiwe, ukuncipha kwesisindo, inkumbulo engcono nemisebenzi yokuqonda, ukusebenza okuphezulu kwezemidlalo, nokuphathwa kohlobo lwesifo sikashukela sohlobo 2. (iStock)
Isibonelo esisodwa yindlela ye-16/8, lapho umuntu ezila khona ukudla amahora angu-16 bese edla kuphela phakathi nenkathi yamahora ayisishiyagalombili, phakathi kuka-10 ekuseni no-6 ntambama.
Abanye bangase bakhethe ukuzila ukudla amahora angu-24 agcwele kanye noma kabili ngesonto, noma ukunciphisa ama-calories abo ngezinsuku zokuzila.
INGABE UZIBEKEME NGESIKHATHI? UMA KUKHONA, UKUDLA KUNGABA ESIKHATHINI SAKHO, IZIPHAKAMISO EZINTSHA
Ukuzila ukudla ngezikhathi ezithile kukhonjiswe ukuthi kunezinzuzo eziningi, okuhlanganisa impilo yenhliziyo ethuthukisiwe, ukuncipha kwesisindo, inkumbulo engcono nemisebenzi yengqondo, ukusebenza kahle kwezemidlalo, kanye ukuphathwa kwesifo sikashukela sohlobo 2ngokusho kwewebhusayithi ye-Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Ama-biohacker athuthuke kakhulu angase angene kuma-nutrigenomics, okubandakanya ukutadisha ukuthi ukudla okuhlukene kuhlangana kanjani nezakhi zofuzo zomzimba njengendlela yokuvimbela izifo.
Ukulungiselelwa kokulala kuchaziwe
Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukulala okunempilo, ama-biohacker agxila ekulawuleni isigqi sokujikeleza, esifana newashi lomzimba lamahora angu-24.
Ukuchayeka emithonjeni yokukhanya kubangela umzimba ukuthi ungene emjikelezweni “wokuvuka” ekuseni – futhi lapho kuba mnyama umzimba uqala ukukhiqiza i-melatonin ukuze ulungiselele ukulala. Uma isigqi se-circadian singasebenzi, singaphazamisa umjikelezo wokulala.

Kuwebhusayithi yakhe, i-biohacker uDkt. Greg Wells, esekelwe eTorontoinikeza amathiphu ambalwa okulawula isigqi se-circadian.
Lezi zihlanganisa eveza amehlo ukukhanyisa into yokuqala ekuseni, ngisho noma kudinga ukusetshenziswa kokukhanya kwelanga okuzenzela, nokugwema ukuchayeka ekukhanyeni ngaphambi kokulala.
Uphinde ancome ukugcina igumbi lokulala liku-66 degrees Fahrenheit ukuze kuthuthukiswe izimo zokulala ezifanele.
“I-Biohacking isayensi yokushintsha indawo ezungezile ukuze ukwazi ukulawula ngokugcwele i-biology yakho.”
U-Avalon usekela imikhuba yakhe yokulala enempilo ngokusebenzisa umatilasi wokupholisa, amakhethini amnyama kanye nezibuko ezivimba ukukhanya okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ukuze ahlunge imisebe yokukhanya eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka-violet ezikrinini zedijithali.
Ukwelashwa kwesibani esibomvu: Kuyini?
Inani elandayo lama-biohacker liphakamisa izinzuzo zezempilo zokwelapha ukukhanya okubomvu.
Lokhu kuhilela ukuchayeka ekukhanyeni okubomvu kumaza athile ukuze kubangele izinguquko kumaseli omzimba. Abantu bangalala emibhedeni egcwele umzimba noma basebenzise idivayisi ephathwa ngesandla ukuze bafake ilambu elibomvu.
Ama-Biohackers aphakamisa izinzuzo zezempilo zokwelapha ukukhanya okubomvu, okubandakanya ukuchayeka ekukhanyeni okubomvu kumaza athile obude ukuze kubangele izinguquko kumaseli omzimba. Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka kulokhu, kusho iCleveland Clinic, ukuthola ukusebenza kahle. (iStock)
Ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu kuthiwa kunciphisa ubuhlungu, ukuphulukiswa kwesilonda, ukwehla kwemiphumela emibi evela ekwelapheni umdlavuza, ukunciphisa ukuvuvukala nokuthuthukiswa kwesikhumba – nakuba iCleveland Clinic ithi kuwebhusayithi yayo ukuthi ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka ukuze kutholakale ukusebenza kwayo.
Ukulandelela impilo kanye nendlela yokwenza
Ingxenye enkulu ye-biohacking yilokho i-Avalon ekubiza ngokuthi “ukuzilinganisa,” okubandakanya imikhuba ekala izimo ezihlukahlukene zomzimba.
Namuhla, izinto ezigqokekayo zingakwazi ukulandelela cishe yonke imethrikhi ongayicabanga – izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo, umsebenzi womzimba, amakhalori ashisiwe, imijikelezo yokulala, amazinga eglucose (ushukela osegazini), imijikelezo yokuzala, ngisho nenani lamafutha umzimba oshiswayo.
“Ngokuqapha kakhulu ama-biomarker womuntu, njenge ukuguquguquka kwesilinganiso senhliziyoizinga lokushisa lomzimba, isigqi sokulala, ushukela wegazi kanye nezimpawu zegazi, ama-biohackers bathola impendulo yalokho okusebenzayo nokungasebenzi, ukuze bakwazi ukuthuthukisa indlela ababhekana ngayo nanoma yiluphi usuku oluthile,” kusho u-Avalon.
“Ngandlela-thile, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bayazi noma cha, wonke umuntu uyi-biohacker.”
I-Asprey ithinta isistimu yokulandelela ukulala njengocezu lobuchwepheshe olubaluleke kakhulu oluzokutshela ukuthi ngabe uhamba ngendlela efanele yini.
“Njengoba uthuthukisa izimpawu zakho zezempilo kanye ne-biometrics, amaphuzu akho ayakhula,” kusho yena. “Uma uziqeqeshe ngokweqile noma ucindezelekile ngokomzwelo, amaphuzu akho aphansi. Akukho ukuzikhohlisa.”
Ukuhlolwa kwegazi kuyezwakala
Ama-biohacker amaningi aqapha umsebenzi wabo wegazi ukuze landela izinto ezifana ne-cholesterolamazinga amavithamini namaminerali, impilo yezitho, ukuvuvukala, ukusebenza kwamaselula, impilo yesistimu yomzimba kanye nomsebenzi we-thyroid.
Ukuhlolwa kwegazi kungase futhi kunqume ukuthi ingabe izinguquko zokudla noma izithasiselo zinomphumela ofisayo.
U-Biohacker Dave Asprey ungumgqugquzeli oshisekayo wokuhlolwa kwegazi. “Uma ulinda uze ugule ukuze uhlole igazi ngeke wazi ukuthi ubukuphi ngesikhathi usuphilile,” usho kanje. (iStock)
U-Asprey uthe ubelokhu engumgqugquzeli wokuhlolwa kwegazi.
“Ungazama kanjani ukulungisa into uma ungayazi ukuthi ikuphi noma ishonaphi?” uthe. “Yinto okumele yenziwe abantu abanempilo ngoba uma ulinda uze ugule ukuze uhlole igazi ngeke wazi ukuthi ubukuphi usuphilile.”
Ukuze uthole i-biohacking ephephile, qala kancane
Njenganoma yisiphi isinqumo sendlela yokuphila, ukuphusha i-biohacking ngokwedlulele kuza nezinga elithile lengozi.

“Izingozi zingavela ngokucindezela umzimba usuka esimweni se-hormetic [beneficial] ukucindezeleka, ekucindezelekeni ngokweqile nasekucindezelekeni ngokomzimba okulimazayo, “kusho u-Avalon.
“Ukululama okwanele kubalulekile. Amasu we-Biohacking akufanele abonakale njengensindiso, kodwa njengethuluzi loku ukuthuthukisa inhlalakahle yethu nokuba khona.”
Noma ubani ocabanga ukuqala umkhuba omusha we-biohacking kufanele aqale abonane nodokotela noma umsebenzi wezempilo. (iStock)
Kulabo abasanda kuqala, u-Asprey uncoma ukukhetha into eyodwa okumele ugxile kuyo, esikhundleni sokubeka umgomo ojwayelekile “wokuba nempilo.”
Lokhu kungase kuhlanganise imikhuba engcono yokulala, ukudla ukudla okunempilo noma ukuvocavoca umzimba nsuku zonke.
CHOFOZA LAPHA UKUZE Ubhalisele IPHEPHA LETHU LEZEMPILO
“Ngandlela thize, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bayazi noma cha, wonke umuntu uyi-biohacker,” esho.
“Indawo okuzungezile, ukudla okudlayo, indawo ohlala kuyo nezinto ozenzayo zihlezi zikuthinta. Wonke umuntu uphethe imvelo yethu, eqaphela noma engazi.”
CHOFOZA LAPHA UKUZE UTHOLA UHLELO LOKUSEBENZA IZINDABA ZEZIMpungushe
Bonke labo abacabanga ukuqala noma yimiphi imikhuba emisha ye-biohacking kufanele baqale bathintane nodokotela wabo.
