THE WEIRD REASON MOTHS ARE ACTUALLY STRONGER AND HEALTHIER THAN YOU ARE

People must compare moths with Olympic athletes because probably may be an insult. These animals are well-known for eating sweaters, but acording with a study from the University of Arizona, the most athletics creatures are hawkmoths, a type of moth. These fly arround 3 miles in one night slurping the nectar from flowers to feed them without fracturing any muscle. This is thanks to antioxidants.
According to Science Says when moths burn lipids during exercise produce more reactive oxygen that presents a serious problems againts their flight muscles, but they discovered that the moths that fly in more frequently have less oxidative cellular damage than those that were more sedentary. Eran Levin, one of the researchers, says that these animals consume a sugary diet to proect their muscles.

When humans beings are in physical activity, they causes reactive molecules of oxygen which have an immune response to microbial invasion, this oxidation cause fatigue and delays muscle recovery. Athletes have taken antioxidant supplements to counter this reaction, because our body don't create enough. In the case of the moths don't have taken antioxidants, but have taken sugar.

The question of the researchers are: how is ti possible that hawkmoths are able to consume amounts of sugar and sustain the most intense physical exercise in the animal kingdom?
Are authentic superheroes, they use all of the sugar that consume to make antioxidants through any carbohydrate from their diet to their metabolic phosphate pathway, humans also have this metabolic pathway, but we don't produce such high amounts of oxidants that we need.
Levin said that if we understand the metabolic pathway functioning of moths, we can find out why our consumption of sugar is not enough and we can learn a effectively pathway to metabolize sugar, to have a perfect body and a diet settled in sugars.
