“There are a couple of mechanisms by which acetaminophen has been speculated to alter fetal brain development including acting on cannabinoid receptors, which help determine how neurons mature and connect with one another, altering the immune system, or by increasing oxidative stress.”

“In human studies, higher activity levels are linked to reduced cancer recurrence, possibly due to lower metastatic spread. Exercise increases blood flow, which exposes circulating tumor cells to more mechanical stress, potentially destroying them before they can settle elsewhere in the body.”

“A small clinical trial in overweight adults finds that satiety hormones are lower after a meal in the evening compared to earlier in the day and that stress increased hunger hormones later in the day. This was particularly the case in people that are prone to binge eating.”

“It also decreased cortisol (stress hormone) levels and lower blood pressure. While this study was very small (13 people), other studies have shown that vitamin D3 improves exercise performance and increase muscle strength. It has also been shown that vitamin D3 inhibits the activity of the enzyme needed to make cortisol.”

“Consequently, their stress levels tend to be higher, which can lead to high blood pressure and, eventually, hypertension.”

“01:16:35 - Protective mechanisms, such as the activation of tumor suppressor genes, are induced by hormesis – a type of protective stress response triggered by things like isothiocyanates. 01:20:20 - Plants produce toxic compounds that have a net positive effect because they induce hormesis.”

“This axis of stress control communicates directly with the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain, which helps the brain retain memories of stressful situations, but also contributes to the development of depression.”

“FTA: > After a long stay in the Intensive Care Unit only a handful of pathogenic microbe species remain behind in patients' intestines, a study has shown. The team of researchers tested these remaining pathogens and discovered that some can become deadly when provoked by conditions that mimic the body's stress response to illness.”

“Participants in the sauna group followed their exercise training with 15 minutes of sauna bathing at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the sauna was increased by 40 degrees Fahrenheit every two weeks as participants acclimated to the heat stress.”

“FTA: > Researchers have discovered that antibiotics have an unwanted impact on the microorganisms that live in an animal's gut that's more broad and complex than previously known. A study has helped to explain these processes, which are now believed to affect everything from the immune system to glucose metabolism, food absorption, obesity, stress and behavior.”
