142. Health and Adversity: Can We Use Hormesis to Impact Our Longevity and How We Feel Today?
Wellness While Walking
How to Manage Hormetic Stressors
The idea behind Hormesis is that intermittent stresses of a certain strength and duration to our system can be beneficial. Too much stress to a muscle without time to recuperate can cause irreparable or hard to repair damage, like something called Revdo myelosis. Temperature is one of the common arenas where people try to evoke hermesis.
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!
