In plain English

HumanSystemOptimization is an article-style repository, a long Chinese-language guide whose title translates roughly to "Healthy living to 150 years old: an incomplete guide to tuning the human body system." The README opens by framing the body as a system that can be "tuned" the way you might tune a software program, and the rest of the document collects practical guidelines the author drew from a series of podcasts, especially Huberman Lab interviews with the Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, plus the author's own year of experimentation following habits from a Lex Fridman interview. The content is organised by topic rather than code. A section on sleep explains the internal body clock, how morning sunlight and body temperature shift it, and gives habits such as getting two to ten minutes of outdoor light after waking, avoiding bright light late at night, and being careful with caffeine timing. A section on diet discusses intermittent fasting (eating only inside an eight-hour daily window), why the timing of food matters as much as the food itself, and how to ease into it. A separate part covers gut-microbiome health, contrasting high-fibre foods with naturally fermented foods and summarising an experiment in which fermented foods raised microbial diversity and lowered inflammation markers. The README also lists a short "minimum viable" checklist at the top: keep sleep length and quality, do not smoke, move every day, and cut down on sugar. You would read this if you want a digestible summary of habits drawn from peer-reviewed neuroscience and nutrition research, without watching hours of podcast episodes. It is a written guide rather than runnable software.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Based on this human optimization guide, create a personalized daily schedule that incorporates morning light exposure, exercise timing, and evening light avoidance for better sleep.
Prompt 2
Explain the circadian rhythm principles from this guide and suggest three specific changes I can make this week to improve my sleep quality.
Prompt 3
Using the neuroscience concepts in this guide, design a focus-enhancement protocol that includes cold exposure, napping, and non-sleep deep rest.
Prompt 4
What are the key biological mechanisms this guide identifies for why morning sunlight exposure improves sleep, and how would I implement this in a typical workday?
Prompt 5
Create a weekly meal and exercise plan that incorporates the health optimization principles from this guide, focusing on dopamine management and metabolic health.
