It\u2019s no surprise that exercising and nutrition are an essential part of living a long life. Although, there are other things you can do outside of diet and physical activity that can affect your longevity. For example, a healthy lifestyle and avoiding unhealthy habits, such as smoking and drinking, can increase your lifespan. Additionally, an <\/span>International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)\/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA)<\/span><\/a> Natural Olympia third-place winner shares another hack for decreasing aging. According to <\/span>Peter Cichonski<\/b>, red light from the sun will slow aging. On social media, he shared a few posts explaining how this works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cichonski said that the sun contains 43% red light and infrared light. And that receiving red light from the sun penetrates upwards of 12 inches through your skin. Cichonski claims that your mitochondria (cells power) use red light to maximize cellular energy. Cichonski stated:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAny time you can see the sun you can absorb red light. since we lose approximately 10% efficiency of our mitochondria With \u00a0every decade of life that passes, maximize your Energy output with natural red light, it\u2019s free.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Likewise, Peter Cichonski has several other Instagram posts supporting his belief that the light you receive from the sun is good for your body. He believes that the sun will maximize your circadian rhythm and mitochondrial efficiency. And he acknowledges that light from the sun will do more than just slow aging. But realigning your circadian rhythm will \u201csupercharge your strength, endurance, and recovery.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Below you can view an Instagram post from Cichonski expressing how red light improves your body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Peter Cichonski is a professional natural bodybuilder and chiropractor.

They take the energy you use from food and turn it into energy your cells can use. They also contribute to the aging process. As you age, your mitochondria \u201cbattery\u201d declines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Peter Cichonski blames your mitochondria for preventing you from living past 100. Cichonski asserted: <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDo you know why most people don\u2019t live to see 100? Basically with every decade of life that passes we lose approximately 10% of our human batteries (mitochondria) ability to make energy for our cells. so right around 100 years old the batteries no longer produce energy. not much different than how the battery in your cell phone works.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Besides the red light you receive from sunlight, natural bodybuilding is an excellent sport for increasing your lifespan. According to <\/span>Kayla Rowling<\/b> \u2013 Bikini Divas 2021 Natural Olympia champ \u2013 natural bodybuilding can balance your masculine and feminine energies<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, natural bodybuilding leagues don\u2019t allow doping into the sport.
