The Role of Nutrition and Exercise in the Prevention and Treatment of Oxidative Stress-Associated Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last decades, non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) have been dramatically increasing in their prevalence and constitute the most common causes of death around the globe. Therefore, the exploration and development of effective measures to prevent and control NCDs have become an important public health issue. Many of the most common chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer, are associated with increased inflammation and oxidative stress. In this context, it is well accepted that lifestyle habits, including nutrition and physical activity, play a key role in the prevention of chronic conditions. Moreover, nutritional modifications and targeted exercise interventions are crucial cornerstones in NCD treatment. It has been shown, for example, that a good level of cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a better overall health status and a reduced risk of mortality in apparently healthy individuals, as well as in clinical populations. In addition, both a proper diet and regular exercise and can help reduce medication needs and improve the quality of life in patients with a variety of chronic issues.

The goal of this Special Issue is to provide an updated overview and new knowledge on the role of nutrition, physical activity and exercise in the prevention and treatment of oxidative stress-related NCDs. Both original research and review papers are welcome for article collection. Authors are invited to submit the findings of their recent investigations relating the effects of diet, nutritional supplements, physical activity or exercise on oxidative stress, inflammation and associated outcomes in chronic conditions, particular (but not limited to) cardiometabolic diseases and cancer. We aim to present new discoveries in the field and to stimulate a fruitful discussion of innovative approaches to prevent and treat NCDs with nutrition and exercise.
