We live in a world where there is a new fad diet, superfood, supplement or nutrition theory every month. There are so many tricks to optimizing workouts, peak performance, burning fat, living longer, sleeping better and biohacking your immune system. Wellness has become a part of mainstream discourse like never before, and the result is an overwhelming barrage of seemingly contradictory information.
But here’s one simple truth: good health impacts every aspect of life, be it productivity at work, interpersonal relationships or a balanced family life. In Hacking Health, Mukesh Bansal takes on the mammoth task of demystifying the science, simplifying the research and tracing the story of our relationship with our body. Through a combination of personal experience and cutting-edge science, this is a book that draws from ancient wisdom and also debunks unscientific myths to help you make smart choices in pursuit of good health. From nutrition and fitness to sleep and immunity, weight management and mental health to ageing and longevity, this book delves into the breadth and depth of holistic health and helps you navigate the lines between science and pseudoscience.
Can we use science to hack the human body’s functioning and be our most efficient, fittest and happiest selves? Hacking Health takes a 360-degree approach to answer this very question and help you unlock your body’s potential.

From the Publisher

The story of health unfolds one day at a time and what you do every day slowly but surely adds up.

If there’s only one rule you remember, it is this — sleep more, eat less, and move.

Highly accurate wearable devices are now available for everyone. Armed with the knowledge from these tools, it will be foolhardy to ignore all this and continue to be stuck in outdated ways—unless those outdated ways of life are ones your great-grandparents followed because they evolved from thousands of years of practice and continue to be relevant even today!

As humans live longer lives, it is becoming apparent that we do not really know the upper limit of human age. Many of the old models of ageing, retirement and gracefully walking into the sunset may not apply, and we may have to rethink our lives on a very different timescale.
