We all know that antioxidants are good for our health, but have you heard of one that is so powerful it is being dubbed as ‘the mother of all antioxidants’? It is considered so powerful that it could stop heart disease, ageing, neurological degeneration, cancer and many more.
Glutathione (pronounced “gloota-thigh-own.”) is a powerful detoxifier, immune booster and is a vital key to keeping the body healthy. Our bodies produce a small amount of Glutathione naturally, but factors such as pollution, toxic environments, stress and poor food quality are all causing glutathione to be significantly reduced in our bodies.
Our bodies naturally produce Glutathione. It is a molecule made up of cysteine, glycine and glutamine, which are all amino acids. It is important for removing heavy metals in the body, free radicals and other toxins. It literally collects all the bad toxins in the body and helps to flush them out. Our bodies can produce a small amount, but the best way to increase this powerful natural medicine is by eating the right foods and getting exercise. Foods such as broccoli,cabbage, peaches, avocados, turmeric (curcumin), tomatoes, peas, onions, garlic, watermelon and red peppers, are all great sources of Glutathione. Many of these foods are sulfur rich, which is the crucial factor in the antioxidant process. It is these sulfur chemical groups that work to remove the toxins and free radicals from our bodies. This is really important to know as it can have significant positive affects on the prevention of illness in our bodies.
