Ocaleli z Auschwitz: dlaczego ekstremalny stres nie skrócił życia? 3 naukowe wyjaśnienia

Why did some Auschwitz survivors live to a ripe old age despite extreme stress, and stress didn't shorten their lives? In this video, I analyze the impact of stress on health and lifespan using the example of survivors of Auschwitz-Birkenau during the Holocaust. We know that health is influenced by: – diet, – sleep, – physical activity, – chronic stress, – genes. Auschwitz prisoners were deprived of most of these factors: lack of sleep, malnutrition, and extreme, long-term stress increase the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, stroke, and depression. Yet some of them lived long lives. How is this possible? In the video, I discuss three possible scientific explanations consistent with current medical knowledge, including the role of body adaptation, mental resilience, and environmental influences (which may account for up to 80% of lifespan). This is an educational video about stress, health, and longevity – taking into account the historical context and respect for the victims. Be sure to watch the YouTube video about the impact of stress on health:    • Zawał, wrzody, cukrzyca. Od stresu czy nie...   #auschwitz #stress #health
