But once we are perfectly healthy, is it possible to become &#8220;hyper healthy&#8221;, or a state BEYOND and above &#8220;healthy&#8221;?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Degrees of health?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think most people think about health in a binary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>You are either healthy or &#8220;unhealthy&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic notion is that you cannot be &#8220;sort of&#8221; healthy or &#8220;sort of&#8221; unhealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But certainly there must be <em>degrees<\/em> of heath. Like a sliding scale (unhealthy on the far left, and healthy on the far right).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&lt;&#8212;Unhealthy&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-Healthy&#8212;&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But is it possible to go BEYOND healthy? Like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&lt;&#8212;Healthy&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-Hyper-healthy&#8212;&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t even think we have a term for &#8220;hyper healthy&#8221; yet. Perhaps &#8220;godlike&#8221; might be a better notion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I want to become MORE than healthy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example talking about myself (ERIC KIM). I&#8217;m perfectly healthy. 31 years old, good digestion, good mood, no body pain, strong appetite, positive mood, strong muscular strength, and strong hope and optimism for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I want more. I want to become BEYOND myself. I want to become a HYPER-ERIC. But what does that even mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I want more physical strength (increase my powerlifting personal records)<\/li><li>I want to increase my body muscle mass (more muscles)<\/li><li>I want to augment my mind more (become more intelligent, wise, and discerning)<\/li><li>I want to create more art works (make more photos, write more, think more, innovate more with my arts).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how can I practically do this? Some experiments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Acupuncture<\/strong>: Can doing acupuncture unlock some new abilities of my body\/mind which hasn&#8217;t been unlocked yet?<\/li><li><strong>Intermittent fasting<\/strong>: Extending my fasting (no breakfast or lunch) and breaking my fast (dinner at around 9pm, to maximize my personal productivity). My ideal is to have 24-hour fasts (only one meal a day, and the next meal isn&#8217;t until 24 hours later). So I can only eat at 9pm everyday.<\/li><li><strong>Extreme walking<\/strong>: Literally trying to walk as much as I can in a 24 hour day. To do all my computing while standing or walking. Trying to move as much as I physically can in a 24 hour period.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I cannot say I have any conclusive results (yet), but this is a fascinating philosophical pursuit of mine which I will keep you updated with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hyper human is the goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ERIC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does it mean to become BEYOND healthy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":177346,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_ek_photo_artist_note":"","_ek_photo_thesis":"","_ek_photo_camera":"","_ek_photo_place":"","_ek_photo_human_moment":"","_ek_photo_sequence":"","_ek_photo_question":"","_ek_photo_canonical_claim":"","_ek_photo_ai_summary":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-177830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/6C771364-B9BD-414F-9F4B-C933F92751A5.jpeg?fit=1280%2C853&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177830"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177830\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":177907,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177830\/revisions\/177907"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
