Longevity Glossary
We explain the concepts of Longevity and give you tips on ways to get started with Longevity.
A
ATP (Adenosintrifosfat)
The energy currency of cells, which is stimulated, inter alia, by Red Light Therapy.
B
BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis)
Method for measuring body composition, used in Visbody S30.
B
BOA Max 2
A leading lymphatic drainage machine that improves circulation, detoxification and recovery. Read more here.
B
Biohacking
To optimize body and mind through science, diet, lifestyle and technology. See e.g. Red Light Therapy or IHHT.
B
Breathing Excercises
Techniques to control breathing, improve oxygenation and calm the nervous system.
C
Circadian Rhythm
The body's internal clock that controls sleep, hormones and energy levels. Affected by light, diet and routines.
C
Cold Plunge / Cold Therapy
Bathing in cold water to reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system and provide mental clarity. See Mana 1.0
C
Compression Therapy
Treatment that with the help of pressure cuffs stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic system. See BOA Max 2.
C
D
Dry Float
Weightless and regenerating relaxation in water without getting wet. See Zerobody Dry Float.
E
Endorfins
The body's own “feel-good hormones” released during exercise, cold and heat.
H
HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)
Treatment in which the body is exposed to higher pressure and increased oxygen concentration, which among other things accelerates healing and recovery. See HyperPod.
H
Heat Shock Proteins
Proteins that are activated upon heat (e.g. sauna) and strengthens the resistance of cells.
H
Heat Therapy
Treatment with heat such as sauna or infrared therapy to increase circulation and reduce stress, among other things.
H
Hormesis
The phenomenon in which small doses of “stress” (such as cold, heat, fasting) make the body stronger.
H
Hypoxic Training (IHHT)
Method that simulates high-altitude training to train the mitochondria of cells. See MITOVIT.
I
Inflammation
The body's natural response to stress or injury — can become chronic if left unregulated. Techniques such as cold bath, HBOT and red light therapy helps against this.
I
Interval Training, HIIT vs IHHT
The difference between classic high-intensity exercise (HIIT) and cell training with oxygen variation (IHHT).
L
Longevity
The science of prolonging the number of healthy years of life. Lyfe Nordic offers advanced technologies in areas such as HBOT, red light therapy and cold exposure to enable businesses to offer the absolute best and latest in longevity, wellness and health optimization.
L
Lymphatic Drainage
Treatment to stimulate the lymphatic system and reduce fluid retention. See BOA Max 2.
M
Mindfulness
Mental training for attendance and stress management, often combined with various wellness technologies.
M
Mitochondria
The power plants of cells that produce energy. All longevity methods are aimed at strengthening the function of mitochondria.
N
Neuroplasticity
The brain's ability to adapt and make new connections. Positively affected by HBOT, exercise and meditation.
O
Optimal Health
The goal of wellness and biohacking — to live longer, healthier and with a higher quality of life.
O
Oxidative Stress
An imbalance in the body that accelerates aging. Countered by technologies such as IHHT and red light therapy.
O
Oxygen Therapy
Collective concepts for oxygen-based treatments.
P
Photobiomodulation
Another name for red light therapy — the influence of light on the mitochondria of cells. See Red Light Pod, Red Light Pod Pro & Red Light Solo.
P
P
Preventive Health
A field of health that focuses on preventing diseases instead of just treating them. Through technologies such as body scanning with Visbody S30, HBOT and red light therapy, Individuals can detect imbalances early and optimize their health to live more healthy years.
R
Recovery
Methods for recovering from physical or mental strain. See Zerobody, Red Light Pod et al.
R
Red Light Therapy
The light stimulates the mitochondria of cells to increase energy, circulation and cell renewal. See Red Light Pod.
S
Sauna Therapy
Use of sauna for circulation, detoxification and mental clarity. Perfectly combined with cold baths.
S
Stress Management
Strategies and treatments that reduce stress and increase balance.
V
Visbody S30
3D body scanner with BIA for full analysis of body composition, posture and health data. Read more here.
W
Wellness
Holistic approach to health that includes physical, mental and emotional balance.
