not only can stress make you stronger it is  necessary to make you stronger without stress  

you weaken now of course you need a balance  between stress and recovery and this is really  

based on something called a hermetic effect where  you’re adding a dose of stress and then the body  

adapts so the body has this urge to survive so  when you stress it it reacts to survive more  

and it adapts and becomes stronger let’s take a  deeper look at what’s going on here all right you  

have the immune system you have one part immune  system which is the innate which you’re born  

with your mother has given you this immune system  based on her stress and adaptation but you also  

have what’s called the acquired immune system  this is something that you develop over time  

but in order to develop this part of the immune  system you have to expose it to infection you  

have to go through various stresses to develop  the antibodies to have a stronger immune system  

in fact you can’t develop a strong immune system  without being exposed to pathogens and having  

your body react and this is why people that live  in a sterile environment or even especially kids  

they don’t have a strong immune system they’re  always getting sick and so having a sterile  

environment or trying to artificially boost your  immune system doesn’t always work all right then  

we have exercise okay it’s a stress that breaks  down muscle tissue it actually creates damage  

but then the recovery phase through the help of  hormones you become stronger versus someone who  

is very inactive they actually start shrinking  they get atrophy and weaker over time of course  

the key with exercise is that recovery if you’re  not sleeping if you’re over training you’re not  

going to get any better number three fasting this  is very interesting because it’s counterintuitive  

you would think if you starve someone or deprive  them of nutrients they would automatically get  

weaker but they don’t when you deprive microbes  of nutrients they actually live longer they  

become more diversified your body goes through all  sorts of magical things from regrowing brain cells  

to regrowing your immune system to healing chronic  disease because the inflammation goes down to the  

inactivation of cancer cells of course there is  a limit to fasting if you starve yourself for too  

long you know you will die all right number four  phytonutrients these are the chemicals in plants  

one of the purposes of a phytonutrient is to act  as a pesticide or an insecticide to kill certain  

things that are trying to kill it and protect  itself and so when you consume some of these  

plants you’re getting exposed to these chemicals  as well and your body can create a hormonic effect  

and become stronger and resistant to it just  by being exposed to a certain dose of these  

pesticides of course the dosage is very very  small so it’s not going to create the same effect  

and usually some of these toxic chemicals  and plants are very bitter like the radish  

like arugula swiss chard or mustard greens  but consuming some of these things in small  

amounts can actually give you some benefit  all right number five cold therapy cryotherapy  

a cold shower or bathing in a tub of cold water  can stimulate certain mechanisms to make you  

stronger and actually create a healing effect  same thing can happen when you go to hot sauna  

you can create this effect but of course if we  compare these cold which is more uncomfortable  

can stimulate a greater improvement than  using things like a sauna or a hot shower  

number six decrease oxygen this is called hypoxia  where you’re depriving your body of a little  

oxygen to cause your red blood cells to adapt  and become stronger and of course this can occur  

if you’re training in high altitudes on a mountain  top and you can even exercise with certain masks  

to restrict the air to cause your body to actually  adapt radiation a small amount of radiation from  

the sun for example can cause this adaptation  effect and you actually your body can become  

more resistant to it and become stronger all right  thanks for watching hey before you go real quick  

i have a course entitled how to bulletproof  your immune system it’s a free course i  

want you to take it and here’s why  here’s you here is your environment

everyone is focused on this over  here avoiding your environment but  

what about here what about strengthening  your immune system that’s what’s missing  

this course will show you how to bulletproof  yourself and so you can tolerate and resist  

your environment much better by strengthening  your own immune system i put a link down
