“Exposure to air pollution promotes oxidative stress and increases the risk of developing many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, hypertension, and diabetes, markedly shortening people's lives.”

“This apparent contradiction arose because far fewer high-risk participants survived dementia-free into very old age. Diabetes, hypertension, and smoking can injure blood vessels through chronic metabolic stress, inflammation, and oxidative damage.”

“Periodontitis is driven by a persistent inflammatory response in the gums triggered by bacterial plaque. Lycopene has antioxidant properties, meaning it can help counteract oxidative stress that contributes to this process.”

“Exposure to air pollution promotes oxidative stress and increases the risk of developing many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, hypertension, and diabetes.”

“For resistance training, a small 8-week trial in trained men reported improvements in strength and muscular endurance with 1,000 mg/day of urolithin A alongside reductions in inflammation and oxidative stress markers, but the sample was tiny and needs confirmation.”

“They felt slightly better moods about the task, though stress and motivation scores did not differ. To explore why participants felt more inclined to act, the researchers tested which of these changes best explained the rise in intention.”

“Interestingly, sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from some cruciferous vegetables, helps protect retinal cells against oxidative stress – a driver of mitochondrial dysfunction. Learn more about sulforaphane in this episode featuring Dr. Jed Fahey.”

“Visceral fat is metabolically active and is associated with increased markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, and decreased levels of anti-inflammatory proteins, such as adiponectin The cross-sectional study involved 974 cognitively healthy females and males (average age, ~50 years).”

“The omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) protect the aging brain by decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation and increasing neurogenesis.”

“They did not know why the medium dose was more effective in reducing inflammation than the high dose, but they hypothesized that the high dose of spices may have contained such a high level of polyphenols that it promoted oxidative stress.”
