During my last 10 years, I've spent a lot of time and interest in finding the latest hacks and trends to optimize my health.

Personalized Nutrition

Is Personalized Nutrition the Future?

Have you ever wondered how health authorities and organizations can provide general dietary advice when we are all unique individuals? I mean, we are all different, so how come this general perception that we all should eat the same? Wouldn't it make more sense to have personalized nutrition plan? This is certainly something for the longevity community to put time and effort in. Personalized nutrition involves eating foods that are tailored for the individual based on DNA testing, health metrics and health assessments. With the information from these tests, we can design personalized diets that promote improved longevity, maximize well-being, and optimize health. What is Personalized Nutrition? You've probably noticed that people often have different opinions about certain diets. This is likely because there's no such thing...

Secrets to Longevity: What You Should Stay Away From

As many of us are aware, lifestyle plays a significant role in life expectancy. It has an even greater impact on how healthy we will be during those extra years. Studies have found that only around 25% of longevity is due to genetic factors. The rest, we have the chance to impact through lifestyle factors such as nutrition, mental and physical wellness, activity, sleeping habits and environment.

However, even if we do all that, there may still be things standing in the way for optimal health. In this article, we will reveal the secrets...

Intermittent fasting for women

Intermittent Fasting for Women

Although, intermittent fasting for women is not as easy and problem free as one would hope. Instead, women need to take their sex hormones into consideration when thinking about starting with IF. Before we dig into that, let...

Gadgets I use to track my health

One thing that keeps me really motivated when it comes to fitness and wellness is health gadgets. Truth to be told, I would probably be a real slacker if I wasn't able to track my training. For years I've been tracking my running sessions, my power walks and all other activities that I count as a workout.

Although, I know this is not a general thing, as people in my immediate circle thinks the opposite. So, I wouldn't say that health gadgets is great for everyone but they works very well in terms on getting me motivated and active. With health gadgets such as a...

giving up alcohol

Why I’m thinking of giving up alcohol

Lately I've been thinking a lot about alcohol and its effect on health. I am not a heavy drinker but as most Swedes I usually drink a couple of glasses of wine during the weekends. Sometimes the win bottle has become the company during some weekdays as well. During the last year it's also become a habit to grab a bottle of beer from the fridge on Friday afternoon when all the work is done. Since I live very strict during the weeks with daily exercise and control over what I eat, the beer has become a weekly reward. The "Beer Reward" may have given me a temporary satisfaction. Although, isn't it strange that I work all week to improve and optimize my health and then...
