Biohacking, Vitamin D and How to Avoid the Pitfalls of Sitting All Day
Biohacking - its the latest buzzword in Hollywood and amongst influencers...but what is it? Essentially, its a broad term that describes an approach you take to improve your longevity, appearance, physical performance and general health. Doctors do warn, however, that some people can become obsessed with meticulously watching their weight, aesthetics, and spending on fancy products. They say the key is, as always, moderation.
Here in the northwest, we don't always get enough Vitamin D via the sun, so how much do we need? Dermatologists say it depends on the color of your skin, how quickly you metabolize vitamin d, how often you are in the sun. Generally, they say to get enough Vitamin D from the sun, just a couple of minutes several times a week should do the trick.
You have probably heard that 'sitting is the new smoking'. Healthcare professionals say too much sitting can potentially lead to all heart disease, dementia, weight gain, back problems, varicose veins and even diabetes. So, if you can, try to add more movement throughout your day.

When was the last time you cleaned your mattress?
Old mattress; avoid processed meats; milk might cause nightmares!
When was the last time you replaced or cleaned your mattress? Over 10 years, you log about 30-thousand hours of sleep and that can mean a decade's worth of dead skin cells, sweat, saliva and more. Added up, that can mean dust mites, potential bacteria and fungus. Health care professionals recommend twice a year, you vacuum all the seams, nooks and crannies; then check for stains and spots and clean them up.
Bacon for breakfast, a bologna sandwich for lunch and salami in your pasta for dinner? A new study published in Nature magazine finds even small amounts of processed meats are extremely unhealthy, and can lead to an increased risk of heart disease and colorectal cancer.
An old wives tale to help you sleep is to have warm milk before bed. Turns out it might help you fall asleep, but a new study published in Frontiers in Psychology finds dairy might actually lead to nightmares, at least for those who have experienced any kind of lactose intolerance.
