"Between 1990 and 2017, the global number of prevalent cases of IBD increased. After many years of sharp increases in IBD incidence in North America and western European countries, and because of improved survival, a pattern of increased prevalence emerged in these regions. An alarming trend for health systems is the observed rise in prevalence in newly industrialised countries."
Inflammatory Bowel Disease is caused when the redox system if homeostasis in the colonic cells gets off course. Basically this system is primarily composed of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) which is the oxidative agent, and Glutathione SH which is the reductive agent. When your body has either exogenous or endogenous stressors attacking it, hydrogen peroxide gets produced in much larger acute amounts to protect the cell (adaptation) from these simingly acute stressors. But Hydrogen Peroxide itself is very cytotoxic cause when it oxidizes compounds and bacteria, it can do the same thing to your own cells. But what happens is that Glutathione is there to neutralize the excess H2O2 after the series of stress has ended, it does this by donating an electron.
The huge problem here is that Hydrogen Peroxide gets produced extremely quickly and efficiently in your cells while Glutathione on the other hand takes few hours to reach the needed amount to neutralize H2O2 after cells get hit by a next stress wave.
What this means is that, given the information of the increasing percentage of young people in ((western)) countries getting this illness, the Glutathione amounts in their body get extremely low from constant unnatural stress, which gives H2O2 free ride to start damaging the colonic cells and Mitochondria getting hit the hardest because its genome is much mkre fragile then the one in the Nucleus. This causes mDNA mutations and a snowball effect from poor Electron Chain Transport system and defucnt beta oxidation, which leads to more Hydrogen Peroxide getting produced, it statts leaking out of the cells, this attracts Neutrophiles in the Neutrophile crypts, and they produce additional H2O2 themselves.
Tldr: zoomers are the most stressed generation in history given the increasing trend of IBD in western countries. Could hypergamy, peer pressure, social anxiety, destroyed circadian rhythms and reduced physical activity all contribute to this?
