The title on this post can have a very broad range of definitions and meanings. What I mean by saying 'Biohacking your body on a kinetic level' is basically getting the best out of your body with less movement. If this statement is still very vague for you, no worries, lets get very specific. 'Getting the best out of your body with less movement' could be on a productive level, biological level and aesthetic level, depending on your perception. Now-a-days the majority of populations are thriving to get healthier, so lets explain the title by saying we are going to maintain or loose certain weight by making our body burn more calories, exercising less and eating more (in a healthier way, of course) . Yes, I know the past statement sounds crazy, and one could easily say only lazy people would have such thought. Both of those assumptions may be true, however, let me elaborate the rest of the theory. When a person not only has a busy daytime schedule, but also a productive life and a sum of responsibilities, honestly the last thing one is thinking of is exercising. I could be wrong with this assumption, however I am only speaking on personal experience and what I have seen within the people that surround me. Within the scale of a productive day, on a physical level I may be a lethargic individual, I will not deny that, but the people closest to me are not LOL. Somehow my friends, family and me all manage to do a large sum of daily activities aside from working, and non-of us exercise on a daily basis. After seeing this struggle amongst my loved ones, I started analyzing their schedules, diets and extracurricular activities. I came up not only with a way how to avoid exercise on a daily basis, but also how to eat more, gain more energy and at the same time loose weight or maintain a weight. How do I know this theory works? Well I myself tested it for 21 days until I made a habit out of it. In my case, I was a little underweight for my height and bone structure. Not only did this caused a lack of daily energy but also created an unbalance on a physical and aesthetic level. Now, with this regime I've been trying, not only am I maintaining a low weight but I also have a lot more energy than I had before, therefore I will share with you guys what I did. "Less Exercising"First off you need to know the lowest levels of everything your body needs in order to function. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the amount of exercise needed for normal health is 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week. That is 21.5 minutes a day of moderate aerobic exercise or cardio is needed to be perfectly healthy. THAT'S ALL. Unless you are trying to meet a certain fitness goal or perhaps loose a certain amount of weight, then you'll indeed need to exercise more. So what is "moderate aerobic exercise" well this is moderate cardio with includes brisk walking, swimming, hiking or mowing the lawn. Bam! If you don't have a treadmill to walk on either go outside and walk for 40 min (to make it a moderate aerobic walk) or if you are a runner, then run for 20 minutes, its that easy. More WaterThe text above is pretty self explanatory. Your body needs two liters of water in order to function normally hence, all you need to do to properly hydrate and detox your body on a daily basis, is to drink two liters of water every day. Pretty easy. If you however have more physical activities to do on a daily basis then your daily intake of water will be more, of course. Eating All DayThis is probably my favorite part of the regime. What you need to know first is what amount of calories your body needs to properly function. According to the center of endocrinology in Mexico that is from 800 to 1200 calories a day. Meaning any less calories you intake on a daily basis could result in health consequences. If you want to get more specific according to your daily exercise, weight and height, you can visit the Mayoclinic.org calorie calculator. What this calculator will do is give you the exact amount of calories you need to intake according to your personal needs.
Now you have an exact idea of how many calories you need to maintain your weight. The next part is a little trickier, lets use my daily calorie intake as an example to plan meals. I decided to use 1,200 calories a day as my limit, so all I have to pretty much do is plan my day accordingly and/or memorize the calories of everything I eat in order to create a habit.

First off. What exactly is biohacking? I'm sure you have heard or read about this trend lately. Biohacking is the method people use to improve their full selves. Whether installing a computer chip into their bodies or simply improving their diet, biohacking is literally hacking your body to be the best you can be at anything. You may not be ready to hack your body at a technological level, however you can definitely start hacking your mind and physical levels with simply changing a or adding a few daily habits.
There was a time of my younger life, I was a recent college graduate to be exact, when I was exceptionally busy. In order to live in a decent place in Downtown LA, one has to be economically stable. I was a recent graduate with an entry level marketing assistant job, so what did I do? I took a 2nd job as a nighttime bartender. Being a full-time marketing assistant by day and a bartender by night is not an easy task! However, I managed to survive for a period of time until my body gave up. If I would have knowledge back then of these tips, I not only would've lasted longer, but I would've have escalated way faster to achieve my professional goals. Having this said, I almost feel as a duty to share with readers about these biohacking tips I've managed to incorporate to my daily life, you know for the sake of society's sanity. (totally joking with that statement BTW) MeditateWhen you are a busy college student or professional there is less time to meditate. Since this is biohacking 101 there is an easier way to meditate, that is a hack to biohack LOL. Meditation helps relieve daily stress. Health physicians usually recommend meditation to aid with anxiety. However, I fully understand that a busy individual has no time to meditate, but that is why you will mediate during your sleep. As discussed in previous posts, we produce brainwaves according to our mood and/or state of mind. Delta binaural and isochronic brainwaves are associated with deep sleep. If you don't own any meditation music with Delta Brainwaves, and feel no need to purchase them, no worries. Youtube.com has plenty of videos with all kinds of meditations. You can listen to these meditations 30 min before going to sleep and/or even fall asleep with music on. On a personal note, both methods seem to work. Coffee BreakCoffee helps accelerate your metabolism, it is also an appetite suppressant and the right coffee has plenty of antioxidants that help cleanse your system. Two cups of organic coffee in the morning will help get your day started. To improve the coffee effects try adding organic milk and a teaspoon of coconut oil. Nutrient UpgradeThe title is a no brainer. You don't need to be a scientist to realize a good diet improves your daily activities. However, I do realize this can be a hard task for some people, personally, I'm horrible at keeping a healthy diet. I love donuts, I love chocolate, I love chips, fast food and all kinds of fat, I'm only slim because God loves me, seriously. But I do make an effort to substitute what I can for a healthier choice on a daily basis. Subliminal messages have helped me alot in maintaining this kind of self-control. Any who if you can relate to me, my struggles and you consider yourself a sinful eater, then welcome to the club! Start by substituting whatever you can for a healthier choice. Let's start by adding nuts to our diet. Nuts contain protein and healthy fatty oils that will aid in your cardiac health. Almonds specifically, are natural appetite suppressants, there fore if you munch on these on a daily basis, your appetite will surely diminish. Eliminate empty carbs! If you love carbs, try substituting these for gluten free carbs, quinoa, cous cous and veggie pasta. Add some fruit as a sweetener! Fruits are abundant in antioxidants and fructose (natural sugar). A diet rich in fruits means, a lot of energy, a clear face, clear digestive system and the feeling of a full tummy. Aside from these small tips, try replacing everything else in your diet for the organic version. For example grass fed meats will definitely have less chemicals than hormone fed meats and organic veggies will be cleaner then other veggies. Lastly, water. This too is another no brainer, 2 liters of water on a daily basis will keep you cleansed and hydrated. You might to drink more water if you are an active person, or prescribed with daily medication. There are H2O brands with more mineral and electrolytes than regular water. This kind of hack will aid if you are the forgetful individual to miss his/her daily water intake. Just keep in mind you are doing this to improve your performance at work or school and you'll be good to go if that is what you truly desire. Other than that, good luck with your first biohacks and may the force be with you.
