The Wim Hof method explained: the biology and biochemistry of the method
The Wim Hof method is about controlling stress, increasing oxygen levels in the body, thus alkalising it, making more energy molecules (ATP) and boosting the immune system. These are all of the effects of the method combined in one sentence. Now we’ll go thoroughly, explaining biology and biochemistry of the method, how it affects the …
Pole dancing – all the benefits
This sport can, in terms of difficulty, be compared to gymnastics, ballet and martial arts. It is demanding, thus it has high returns. First, you have to be strong and fit to begin with. If you lack some strength, you have to be very persistent. With regular hard work you can gain the strength you …
We can never have too many smoothie options
There are so many smoothie recipes, but we can never have too many. 🙂 This is a meal that provides some of the nutrients we need every day. It’s a nutrition bomb: Blueberies: contain Fe and other essential minerals. I picked these myself in the local forest. They grow on rich soil on forest floor …

Books I read in 2022 (and recommend)
The list is very short, sorry I cannot recommend you more books. Last year I was fully focused on Wim Hof’s book and WHM classes along with article writing. I couldn’t also focus on reading books as that completely consumes me, either I read books or I don’t (thus block scheduling works perfect). All of …
6 months of practicing Wim Hof method and how it has improved my life
It all started with Jonna Jinton’s videos, where they take ice baths and she mentions Wim a few times. I had heard of Wim Hof before, but didn’t know about the existence of his method. After I did my research, I purchased the book Wim Hof method. Read it twice in a row because it …

Vitamins are a large group of micronutrients, mostly derived from diets with a few exceptions. These micronutrients usually exist in complexes and thus cannot be obtained from a single dietary source. Functionally, vitamins are involved in various metabolic …
