Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the pathogenesis and progression of a wide range of chronic and degenerative conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. It is becoming increasingly clear that oxidative balance is influenced by multiple interconnected factors, among which diet, nutritional intake, lifestyle habits, and environmental exposures all play essential roles. Nutritional approaches—such as antioxidant-rich diets, functional foods, and micronutrient supplementation—provide foundational support for combating oxidative damage. At the same time, daily habits, including physical activity, sleep quality, and stress management, along with environmental factors such as air pollution and chemical exposures, significantly contribute to the overall oxidative stress burden. A holistic understanding of how these elements interact is key to developing effective, individualized strategies for disease prevention and health promotion.
This Special Issue, titled “Dietary, Environmental, and Lifestyle Modulators of Oxidative Stress in Health and Disease”, welcomes original research, clinical studies, and review articles that explore the roles and interplay of nutrition, lifestyle, and environment in modulating oxidative stress. We encourage submissions covering topics including, but not limited to, the following: dietary patterns and bioactive compounds; micronutrients and phytochemicals; physical activity, sleep, and psychological stress; and environmental pollutants and toxins.
Our goal is to assemble a collection of high-quality papers that advance the understanding of how diet, environment, and lifestyle collectively modulate oxidative stress in both health and disease, ultimately contributing to evidence-based interventions and health policies. We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
