Relieving Stress

To relieve stress, some people choose to go fishing or to the beach or, maybe, camping. The report of the death of noted scientific researcher and UCLA professor, Dr. Roy Walford, indicates that he opted for a much less conventional way to relieve stress.

Dr. Walford alternated years of intensive laboratory research on mice with yearlong sabbaticals in which he walked across India in a loincloth measuring the rectal temperatures of holy men . . . .

Thanks go to Chuck for pointing me to this story. Frankly, though, I'm having difficulty believing that Dr. Walford's methods would reduce stress. It seems that all aspects of his technique would significantly INCREASE stress.
