What's Happening?
Biohacking, a DIY approach to biology, involves making lifestyle changes to improve health and well-being. While some biohackers use biotechnology tools for extreme enhancements, most focus on incremental lifestyle adjustments. Common practices include dietary changes, exercise, and mindfulness techniques. Biohacking aims to optimize human performance and longevity, often incorporating technology and self-experimentation.
Why It's Important?
Biohacking reflects a growing trend towards self-directed health improvement, challenging traditional healthcare models. It empowers individuals to take control of their health through personalized strategies. While it offers potential benefits, it also raises ethical and safety concerns, particularly with unregulated practices. As biohacking becomes more prevalent, it could influence health policies and consumer health products, prompting discussions on regulation and safety.
