Abstract

Undoubtedly, the increase in the incidence of many chronic diseases, especially metabolic syndrome, is related to an unhealthy diet. “Natural-organic nutrition,” which is one of the important elements of a healthy life, will also minimize the entry of “exogenous free radicals” into the body, which are accepted as oxidative stress factors in human metabolism. Recently, the thiol-disulfide balance has been accepted as an indicator for oxidative stress, which is the root cause of most diseases. Among these systemic diseases, metabolic syndrome, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, type II diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular diseases, migraine, liver, and kidney failure are the first ones that come to mind. Many factors, including obesity, oxidative stress and unhealthy diet are involved in the etiopathogenesis of many diseases. In this section, the relationship between nutrition and thiol-disulfide homeostasis, which is one of the oxidative stress markers, is presented.
