Stress, Portrait of a Killer (2008)



One of the biggest silent epidemic in current society is stress. That is about to change in this scientific study, primarily based on the most recent research by preliminary scientists such as neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky, a teacher at Stanford University. Sapolsky explains completely new answers to why and exactly how stress is damaging our health in Killer Stress: Portrait of a Killer, a National Geographic documentary. Many years past since he started to wonder why a lot of people are ruined by stress whilst some manage to survive with it.

Sapolsky do an intensive scientific investigation, solving together an intriguing case on how stress operates and it attacks our cells. As it happens, baboons offer a remarkably close model to human beings when dealing with stress. They just spend close to 4 hours everyday to feeding themselves.
