Could oxidative stress be an underpinning mechanism in ME/CFS and Long Covid. Research published last year found evidence of increased oxidative stress in immune cells of people with both ME/CFS and Long COVID and researchers suggest oxidative stress may be a possible cause of these conditions. We describe the implications of this research and also show how diet, particularly a Mediterranean diet, may reduce the impact of oxidative stress.

Chronic inflammation is a hidden contributor to many modern health conditions. Inflammation is a natural and necessary part of the immune response, however problems arise when it continues long-term. This low-level, ongoing immune activation can gradually damage tissues and organs, contributing to fatigue, joint pain and many aspects of health. Here we describe what is meant by an anti-inflammatory diet, which foods to choose, and which to avoid
