The Simultaneous Prevention of Multiple Diseases: A “One Ring to Rule Them All” Framework for Redox-Driven Health and Longevity
Chronic non-communicable diseases rarely occur in isolation; cardiovascular, metabolic, neurodegenerative, malignant, and age-associated disorders share upstream drivers including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic imbalance. This narrative review synthesizes epidemiological, interventional, and mechanistic studies identified through targeted literature searches to examine redox biology as a shared mechanistic hub linking these conditions. We evaluate antioxidant-rich dietary patterns, selected nutraceuticals, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury as a clinical exemplar, rare redox-imbalance disorders as mechanistic stress models, and emerging gene-based reinforcement of endogenous antioxidant systems. Rather than proposing clinical targets, we present an integrative, hypothesis-generating framework illustrating how coordinated lifestyle-driven modulation of redox balance may simultaneously influence multiple disease trajectories. Collectively, the evidence supports a unified redox framework for multi-disease prevention for multi-disease prevention and future intervention design.
