Some things to look into in 2020
- Measuring glucose levels, inflammation markers, and heart rate variability.
- Ben Greenfield ideas:
- regular, at least low level exercise
- low carb, mediterranean diet prob best for most people
- daily exposure to sunlight (justification is along the lines of a model of batteries and/or photosynthesis
- barefoot?
- exposure to heat… sweating is incredibly healthy… hard to raise body temperature enough with exercise alone.
- exposure to cold… brief exposure to uncomfortable cold is probably healthy
- clean water
- mineral content of food
- microdosing is probably worth it, but perhaps better ignored until legal restrictions are relaxed enough for better studies on the effects of LSD and or psilocybin.
- Are there a series of tests that would give someone a better understanding of what exercises and foods and style/timing of eating are potentially most suitable for a particular individual.
- Is a varied diet actually misguided? If you run better on a particular set of foods, wouldn’t a varied diet be counter-productive?
- Are there any easily-worn devices available to measure any of this stuff relatively accurately.
- Fasting and autophagy. Is a weekly fast of 36 hours worth it? Perhaps 18/6 instead?
- Three meals or more a day and the importance of breakfast seems like apostolic bullshit.
- Benefits of cold immersion (cold showers, cryo).
- Cake on Ubiquiti routers.
