Anti-Aging: Hormesis Principle

 



I recently bought the book "Live 15 Years Longer" and will gradually summarize my findings which I consider "new" to me in this blog post.

The book was written by Prof. Dr. Med. Bernd Kleine-Gunk, President of the German Society for Prevention and Anti-Aging Medicine (GSAAM).


Hormesis Principle

- Find a balance between stress and relaxation

- Challenge your body and mind and recover

- In low doses, mild toxins can be healthy, e.g. secondary plant substances which are used by the plants to fight their natural enemies

- Vitamin tablets do not work against free radicals, the entirety of the ingredients in vegetables and fruit, including secondary plant substances do

- Free radicals make you old and sick, but they are also used to fight cancer because they also fight tumor cells


Antioxidants

I found additional information about antioxidants that I didn't interpreted from the book: 

There was a study that looked at whether antioxidants could cause or increase cancer and the result was that it did. 

However, in the study on mice, a full-fledged healthy diet was not carried out, but highly concentrated antioxidants without the other ingredients of fruits and vegetables.
