Longevity Glossary

We explain the concepts of Longevity and give you tips on ways to get started with Longevity.

Zerobody in use

A

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

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.

Biohacking

To optimize body and mind through science, diet, lifestyle and technology. See e.g. Red Light Therapy or IHHT.

Breathing Excercises

Techniques to control breathing, improve oxygenation and calm the nervous system.

BOA Max 2

A leading lymphatic drainage machine that improves circulation, detoxification and recovery. Read more here.

C

Circadian Rhythm

The body's internal clock that controls sleep, hormones and energy levels. Affected by light, diet and routines.

Cold Plunge/Cold Therapy

Bathing in cold water to reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system and provide mental clarity. behold Mana 1.0

Compression Therapy

Treatment that with the help of pressure cuffs stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic system. behold BOA Max 2.

Cryotherapy

Exposure to extreme cold in, for example PowerCab, for pain relief, recovery and mental acuity. Read more about the science behind cryotherapy & cold exposure here.

D

Dry Float

Weightless and regenerating relaxation in water without getting wet. behold Zerobody Dry Float.

E

Endorphins

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. behold HyperPod.

Heat Shock Proteins

Proteins that are activated upon heat (e.g. sauna) and strengthens the resistance of cells.

Heat Therapy

Treatment with heat such as sauna or infrared therapy to increase circulation and reduce stress, among other things.

Hormesis

The phenomenon in which small doses of “stress” (such as cold, heat, fasting) make the body stronger.

Hypoxic Training (IHHT)

Method that simulates high-altitude training to train the mitochondria of cells. behold 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 scarlet fever therapy helps against this.

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.

Lymphatic drainage

Treatment to stimulate the lymphatic system and reduce fluid retention. behold BOA Max 2.

M

Mitochondria

The power plants of cells that produce energy. All longevity methods are aimed at strengthening the function of mitochondria.

Mindfulness

Mental training for attendance and stress management, often combined with various wellness technologies.

N

Neuroplasticity

The brain's ability to adapt and make new connections. Positively affected by HBOT, exercise and meditation.

O

Oxidative Stress

An imbalance in the body that accelerates aging. Countered by technologies such as IHHT and scarlet fever therapy.

Optimal Health

The goal of wellness and biohacking — to live longer, healthier and with a higher quality of life.

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. behold Red Light Pod, Red Light Pod Pro & Red Light Solo.

PowerCab

Cryo-chamber for whole-body exposure in extreme cold. Read more here.

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 scarlet fever 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. behold Zerobody, Red Light Pod et al.

Red Light Therapy

The light stimulates the mitochondria of cells to increase energy, circulation and cell renewal. behold Red Light Pod.

S

Sauna Therapy

Use of sauna for circulation, detoxification and mental clarity. Perfectly combined with cold baths.

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.
