Description

Age-related degeneration may be reduced or even eliminated, by positively challenging the human being, physically or cognitively, to up-regulate somatic repair functions. Exposure to meaningful information and a challenging environment act as hormetic stressors which, in the context of an increasingly technological setting, may invoke evolutionary mechanisms that lead to a persistent maintenance of homeostasis. Thus, there is a strong link between environmental factors and ongoing health, leading to an individual�s ability to continually adapt to age related challenges.
Challenging Ageing: The Anti-senescence Effects of Hormesis, Environmental Enrichment, and Information Exposure explains the role of hormesis in anti-aging processes followed by information on vitagenes, epigenetics, environmental enrichment and germlines. The monograph also brings newer concepts and theories to the fore, such as �environmental enrichment� and �technoculture.� Medical professionals and general readers, alike, will gain a a new perspective on the processes that counter aging processes in the human being.Typham this is the title: Challenging Ageing: The Anti-senescence Effects of Hormesis, Environmental Enrichment, and Information Exposure 1st Edition
