Hormesis is the beneficial effect of physical or chemical stress to a biological system. At the right level, such stress improves biological function and enhances physical health. Hormesis is also perhaps the most important and little understood way of improving health and wellbeing.
This session will examine how loading and cardiorespiratory exercise, heat and cold, and exposure to plant phytochemicals can all play a role in preventing and treating diseases.
Examples will be explored with respect to exercise, fasting, foods and supplements, sauna, and cold-water exposure that can be employed as effective preventive and therapeutic approaches to health and wellbeing.
