Challenges of Longevity

Daily life presents numerous challenges to longevity, including prolonged screen time, unhealthy eating habits, and insufficient exposure to natural sunlight. These factors, coupled with chronic stress, contribute to a decline in overall health. To combat these issues, individuals are encouraged to adopt 'biohacking' strategies, which involve simple yet effective methods to boost health and vitality. An example of such a strategy is incorporating timeline nutrition to enhance mitochondrial health, ultimately leading to improved energy and protection of DNA.
