Why would oxygen shortage lead to cell generation ? If I regularly choke myself, will I end up living longer ?

  Hormesis is a fairly common theme in human biology. We seem to be at our best when under mild stressors.

    > Hormesis has been observed in a number of cases in humans and animals exposed to chronic low doses of ionizing radiation. A-bomb survivors who received high doses exhibited shortened lifespan and increased cancer mortality, but at low-dose radiation the ratios of cancer deaths in A-bomb survivors are smaller than those of Japanese averages (from Wikipedia) I had never heard of hormesis before. Fascinating and a bit counter intuitive
