A brief YouTube short discussing hormesis — the idea that small, repeated stressors can strengthen biological systems if the organism adapts, and conversely cause harm if adaptation fails. Exercise is presented as the primary example, showing a dose-response: too much or too little stress reduces benefits.
I remember you love the word hormesis. You do eat carbs, you do enjoy your life. You think a proper amount of small, possibly even stressors for the body could be beneficial.
Long term hormesis means that if you apply a stress to a living biological system like ourselves, if we adapt to that stress, we get stronger. If we don't adapt, we get weaker. And then it can lead to disease and other problems. The best example of this is exercise. If you do too much actually works against you. If you do too little, if you don't stress enough, you might not get the benefit.
