Waking or sleeping your body is working to keep you healthy. It does this by using antioxidants to prevent or repair damage to cells by free radicals. GSH may be the master antioxidant, the healing orchestrator, but it needs other antioxidants to really do a great job. The power of vitamins like C and E is boosted when working in the presence of glutathione.
What is glutathione’s role?
Imagine the antioxidants, vitamins C and E, as workers in a mine. They pick up the free radicals and carry them out to be handed over to glutathione. While GSH neutralizes the free radicals, C and E are able to go back into the mine to pick up more. An abundant supply of antioxidants results in more effective elimination of free radicals. This adds up to a healthier you!
I have and will stress the importance of an exceptional diet but...glutathione is not found in a fruit or vegetable. GSH is the only antioxidant that is manufactured in the cells. All the others come from the foods we eat; vitamins C, E, and A, Selenium, beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein are found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and some meats. There are many good resources available that can help sort out which foods contain which nutrient. Also...keep reading and I will help you walk through this information.
Until next time, eat your fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds...
