Dr. Michael Ristow, a professor of energy metabolism at ETH Zurich, bases much of his research into aging on a premise that many of us will find surprising: the free radicals that our cells produce while making energy are not only not harmful, but can even slow the body’s aging down. But while that might surprise us, it’s no secret to the many aging researchers who investigate a phenomenon known as hormesis, a principle we all exploit (whether we know it or not) when we exercise, go on a diet, or hit the sauna. So what’s really behind this effect, and more importantly, how can we leverage it for human health?
