142. Health and Adversity: Can We Use Hormesis to Impact Our Longevity and How We Feel Today?
Wellness While Walking
The Power of Cold Showers
We can't risk death when we're looking to improve our health. We absolutely need to make sure we have zero conditions that could be affected adversely by any traumatic activity and maybe especially cold exposure. Saunas hot baths, taking a hot yoga class are all options for exposing ourselves to heat if we're healthy. Sonnetes has been associated with reduced all cause mortality risk.
Our bodies (and also our minds) were meant to be challenged, and sometimes, in our comfortable society, the challenges aren’t there. It’s okay: we can orchestrate a few challenges fairly easily to get all the advantages of our systems being taxed as designed -- advantages which include enhanced health, feeling great, slowing aging and building our resilience! Also, stay for the shout-outs and more!
