It is Time to Thoroughly Study the Effects of Mild Stress in Rodents, but also in Human Beings

Many experiments on the effect of mild stress on aging have been done in invertebrates, but not in mammals. Using mild stress to improve healthspan seems to be possible, because the few studies on humans which have been published appear to be promising. Particularly, one may wonder whether heat shoc...
