Acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS, is a leading cause of death among COVID-19 patients.
Research shows that exercise may protect against the complication by activating a certain antioxidant in the body.
According to Business Insider, researchers are cautioning that the studies have not included COVID-19 patients.
Studies have shown that exercise boosts the production of the antioxidant EcSOD.
EcSOD, in turn, protects people against acute lung disease and other diseases.
