Poor air quality affects not only respiratory health but also metabolic functions. Wildfire smoke can trigger inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormone release, leading to metabolic disturbances.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Wildfire smoke can impact metabolism, leading to insulin resistance.
Stress hormones released during smoke exposure can raise blood sugar levels.
Air pollution is linked to increased risk of metabolic syndrome components.
