The Science of Heat and Cold Exposure for Health and Longevity
41:01 - 49:40 (08:38)
Heat shock proteins are activated when the body is exposed to hot or cold environments, and studies suggest that deliberate heat exposure may protect against mortality, improve health, and possibly extend life through the activation of these proteins. Animal models provide mechanistic support for these potential benefits.

Summary
Deliberate exposure to heat can activate heat shock proteins, which can help protect against different forms of mortality, improve overall health, and possibly extend life. Heat shock proteins are deployed to rescue and prevent changes in proteins that can be detrimental to a person's health.
