Exercise Fortifies Health Against Oxidative Stress
Exercise generates some oxidative stress; however, a healthy metabolism and diet enable individuals to manage this oxidative stress effectively. Increased expression of antioxidant enzymes and crucial compounds during exercise helps mitigate the oxidative stress produced. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the population suffers from insulin resistance, a condition that has become widespread since the late 1900s, with over 90% of people affected. Current data suggests that less than 1% of the population maintains normal insulin sensitivity. Oxidative stress is identified as a root cause of insulin resistance, which is primarily driven by dietary factors rather than carbohydrate consumption alone, with a particular emphasis on the rise of vegetable oils in diets over recent decades. This surge in vegetable oil consumption contributes to metabolic unhealthiness, impacting even those who might consume high carbohydrate diets yet remain healthy, indicating the importance of addressing dietary quality alongside exercise.
