What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger... Introducing Hormesis

Have you ever heard your Grandma say, "If you have a little wine with your Sunday dinner you'll live longer"? Well she wasn't exactly lying. This is due to a process known as Hormesis, (something that excites or stimulates the body). Hormesis suggests that when you ingest something in a small dose that is otherwise bad for you at a higher dose, your body responds to the stressor with a healing response that is more potent than the ingested toxic substance.
