TREND 1: Biohacking for Longevity<\/h3>\n

Biohacking is gaining popularity in the wellness industry as a newly coined term. It is defined as a series of \u201cincremental changes you can make to your body and lifestyle. This approach has the potential to improve our overall health and longevity through sustained practice.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The integrative science of yoga is the original biohacking. Through the use of asana, pranayama, and meditation, yoga students and practitioners have been utilizing tools from this ancient tradition to achieve this goal for centuries, improving overall health and promoting physical and emotional wellbeing. Many people are unaware that yoga is a collection of ancient and often scientifically substantiated practices that originated for precisely these reasons\u2014to address the difficulties, demands, and stresses that human beings have faced in their lives for millennia.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yoga therapy practices counteract the effects of aging on the mind and body by consciously controlling and regulating the autonomic nervous system, as well as increasing neuroplasticity. Current research indicates that a contributing factor of life-shortening diseases such as metabolic disorders and cancer is increased cortisol and its effects on physical health and aging.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Evidence shows that falling due to poor balance is highly correlated with mortality in older adults. Using the tools of movement and breath for increased coordination, strength, and mobility can greatly improve balance, reduce falls, and enhance both lifespan and healthspan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
