The key takeaway is that health depends on balance, not suppression. The body functions best when there is a proper redox balance not too much oxidative stress, but not too little either. Oxidation, when controlled, is essential to life. The goal should be to support the body’s natural ability to adapt to stress through hormesis, a process where small, manageable challenges, like mild oxidative stress from exercise or fasting, make the body stronger and more resilient. Rather than attempting to eliminate all ROS, we should aim to work with the body’s natural systems, allowing it to maintain a healthy balance that supports health and longevity.
