“During high-intensity exercise, our mitochondria and muscles undergo a significant energetic stress—our body can’t keep up with energy production via fat metabolism alone, so our body switches to using glucose and glycogen (glycolysis) for ATP production.”

“FTA: > Teenage boys with symptoms of depression and raised levels of the stress hormone cortisol are up to 14 times more likely to develop major depression than those without these traits, Cambridge researchers have found. - See more at: http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/biomarker-for-depression-could-improve-diagnosis-and-treatment#sthash.kJadrhZ4.dpuf”

“These findings suggest that drop sets are a time-efficient resistance-training strategy for promoting muscle growth. Some of the mechanisms that promote muscle hypertrophy with resistance training include mechanical tension and metabolic stress.”

“The bones of treated mice scored an average of 19% higher on a measure of the ability to resist twisting stress, known as the polar moment of inertia.”

“Maternal obesity accelerated markers of aging in offspring including impaired mitochondrial function, early signs of prediabetes, fatty liver, and oxidative stress. Exercise by the offspring improved many of the poor outcomes (animal study).”

“Cells treated with a low dose of psilocin lived 29% longer than untreated cells, while a higher dose extended lifespan by 57%. These cells showed fewer signs of aging, such as oxidative damage and markers of cellular stress, and maintained longer telomeres.”

“The results of the study indicate that diets rich in nicotinamide riboside, a derivative of vitamin B3, protect these mice from developing HCC in its most initial stage, when genotoxic stress is damaging cellular DNA.”

“Several studies have identified a the gut-brain the relationship is that is bidirectional such that changes in the gut microbiome can affect behavior, and behavioral changes (ie. psychological stress) can affect the gut flora.”

“Older adults who didn't frequent the hot springs were roughly 50 percent more likely to have type 2 diabetes, heart arrhythmia, stroke, gout, or abnormal blood lipids. Evidence suggests that chronic mental stress promotes hypertension.”

“Estrogen may protect women against post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to findings from a 2017 study. Women are more likely to experience PTSD following a traumatic event if their estrogen levels are low. The study involved 239 women who had been diagnosed with PTSD.”
