- Scientists have been using the term “phenotypic flexibility” to describe health. Strive to live a life that increases your resilience and ability to tolerate all sorts of extremes.
- In the fields of biology and medicine ‘hormesis’ is defined as an adaptive response of cells and organisms to a moderate (usually intermittent) stress.
- All biological organisms adapt and evolve as per the environmental stressors Controlled exposure to stress and pain induces growth factors in body which makes us stronger and more resilient.
- When we expose ourselves to stressors which we can control, we would gain the internal strength to handle external events that are out of our control.
- Examples include exercise, dietary calorie restriction, fasting, holotropic breathwork, yoga, cold baths, sauna and exposures to low doses of certain phytochemicals.
