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.
