Eustress & Hormetic Stress

I

I’ve heard you talk about Eustress as positive stress. Now I hear about Hormetic Stress. What is that?

 Hormetic Stress is a type of healthy molecular stress as compared with Eustress that is a type of healthy social stress. According to geneticist David Sinclair, some of the most effective anti-aging efforts involve thoughtful lifestyle adjustments. He reportedly said, “We used to think that aging was just something that was in our genes, something that we couldn’t modify. But very rapidly…you can reverse many aspects of aging. It’s never too late, unless you’re on your last legs. And the fact that it’s that easy to slow down and reverse aspects of aging—just with lifestyle changes—totally fits with our understanding of molecular mechanisms.” For example, intermittent fasting, high-intensity interval training, alternating hot and cold-water temperatures during a shower, and “box breathing.” More about that tomorrow.
