Ask HN: How do you control your physiology for peak performance?
- Shared404 5y agoNot doing this now, but in the past I've not used any caffeinated products, unless I know I will need it for an upcoming activity. This allows me to gain the full benefit and avoid building a tolerance.
- gregjor 5y agoWhat does “peak performance” mean? Doesn’t that depend on what you perform? I always perform at the “peak” I am capable of at the time. I don’t attempt to “control” my physiology, not sure what that even means.

There's plenty of evidence that it increases longevity. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/17/health/mediterranean-diet-microbiome-wellness/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/17/health/mediterranean-diet...
